Man who climbed tree in B.C. to protest Trans Mountain pipeline expects imminent arrest GlobeBC
Christenson says he staged a similar protest and was arrested last year at the height of rallies against plans to triple the capacity of bitumen through the pipeline.The trained climber says he is prepared to descend from his perch, 30 metres above the ground, rather than risk the safety of the officers ordered to make the arrest.
Work on expansion of the pipeline was suspended in August when the Federal Court of Appeal found First Nations were not adequately consulted and that the National Energy Board failed to consider the marine shipping impacts. Christenson says he believes his latest protest in the towering cottonwood accomplished the goal of helping eagles return to the area.
