It is humorous how the media of BC and Canada continue to ignore and sidestep the reality. The land the pipelines need to cross does not even belong to their governments. The land remains under the sole and distinct ownership of the Indigenous people who the British and Canadian settlers attempted to exterminate by germ warfare in the mid to late 1800’s and then through the cultural genocide of the Residential School system of the 1900’s. There was no war and there is no treaty arrangements, the land therefore cannot be claimed by Canada or British Columbia.
