Defending the land and opposing climate damage: Indigenous leaders burn pipeline agreement, set up B.C. road blockade #TCEnergy #pipelines #fossilfuels
https://thenarwhal.ca/gitanyow-hereditary-chiefs-burn-prgt-agreement/
A #BritishColumbia #FirstNation has established a #blockade on its traditional territory to close the access point into the #PrinceRupert Gas Transmission #pipeline #PRGT #ManCamp.
#Gitanyow #HereditaryChiefs decided to blockade the #CranberryConnector, a forest service road that passes over the #CranberryRiver, on Thursday after reports arrived from Gitanyow camps that large trucks and machinery were crossing their traditional territory.
As the blockade was being established, a ceremony was held to burn 10-year-old pipeline benefit agreements over the PRGT. Gitanyow maintains that the agreements are outdated and that “the project route and scope have undergone significant changes since the existing #environmental assessment was conducted in 2014,” a Gitanyow press release said.
The #PRGTpipeline was bought by the #NisgaaNation and their industry partner #WesternLNG from #TCEnergy in March of this year. The proposed pipeline will connect #CoastalGasLink to the #KsiLisims terminal, jointly owned by the Nisga’a and Western LNG.

I follow Prof K. Harrison (Prof of Political Science, chemical engineer) on Twix. She posted an article about leaked phone conferences by a #BritishColumbia company that builds pipelines and such in #Canada , #TCEnergy
https://thenarwhal.ca/tc-energy-recording-explainer/
"Fossil fuel execs outlined a 7-part playbook to influence governments and media. Here’s what you need to know
Leaked recordings of TC Energy meetings revealed key strategies allegedly used by staff to influence governments, media and sway public opinion."
The executive in those excerpts Liam Iliffe has stepped down by now. He prepped staff on these conference calls and described how well the company faired with his new lobbying approaches.
Elby, governor of BC lets a spokesperson respond that Iliffe had been ' self-aggrandizing with no basis in reality', see bottom of the screenshot.
But even IF Iliffe were ' self-aggrandizing with no basis in reality' , it tells us which Trump-like sociopathic personalities do make it to the top of fossil fuel companies. Wherever those do get to the top, the actual things they make staff do to keep in biz inevitably will be sociopathic too. Inevitably sociopathic!

#FossilFuel firms spent millions on #US lawmakers who sponsored #antiprotest bills
About 60% of #OilAndGasIndustry operations protected from protest due to money spent on lobbying, says #Greenpeace USA report
Nina Lakhani
23 Oct 2023
"Fossil fuel companies have spent millions of dollars on lobbying and campaign donations to state lawmakers who sponsored anti-protest laws – which now shield about 60% of US gas and oil operations from protest and civil disobedience, according to a new report from Greenpeace USA.
"Eighteen states including #Montana, #Ohio, #Georgia, #Louisiana, #WestVirginia and the #Dakotas have enacted sweeping anti-protest laws which boost penalties for trespass near so-called critical infrastructure, that make it far riskier for communities to oppose pipelines and other fossil fuel projects that threaten their land, water and the global climate.
"Another four states have enacted narrower versions of the same law, but which could still be exploited to issue trumped-up charges against peaceful protesters. Many were based on a 'model bill' promoted by the industry-funded American Legislative Exchange Council (Alec).
"According to the report, nine of the top 10 companies that lobbied most for anti-protest bills since 2017 are fossil fuel companies, including US companies #ExxonMobil, #KochIndustries and #MarathonPetroleum, as well as Canadian companies #Enbridge and #TCEnergy (#TransCanada).
"In addition, 25 fossil fuel and energy companies have contributed more than $5m to state anti-protest bill sponsors in this timeframe, data from political finance trackers #OpenSecrets and #FollowTheMoney shows."
