Episode Details

Alberta’s pushing to build another oil pipeline to the B.C. coast, but First Nations aren’t jumping on board without serious consultation — they’re demanding specifics on routes, impacts, and protections for their land, water, and future generations. While some nations like Lake Babine and Tsawwassen aren’t outright opposed, they’re wary of oil’s risks, especially to salmon streams, and prefer southern routes. Past failures — like the scrapped Northern Gateway — have left deep mistrust, and even proposals for First Nation ownership won’t sway coastal nations if it’s still an oil pipeline to the north. Alberta’s aiming to submit a proposal by July 2026, with construction possibly starting in 2027 — but getting everyone aligned will be the real challenge.
