Episode Details

First Nations chiefs in B.C. are fiercely opposing the proposed West Coast pipeline, warning it will worsen climate disasters like wildfires and floods, and demanding true consent—not just token benefits—before any decisions are made. They accuse federal and provincial governments of rushing ahead without meaningful consultation. While Alberta touts jobs and revenue, First Nations say the pipeline’s route and partners were already chosen without their input. The project, designed to move a million barrels daily to export, could get fast-tracked with a “national interest” designation from Ottawa, which is still accepting public feedback. Complicating matters, the linked carbon storage project, Pathways, may not offset the massive emissions the pipeline would unleash.
