But on Wednesday, about 200 people gave up three hours of their afternoon to pack a movie theatre in the community of Houston, a town of about 3,000 people in northwestern B.C., in the heart of the Wet'suwet'en Nation.At a community meeting in Houston, B.C., support was strong for the contentious Coastal GasLink pipeline.This was a pro-pipeline event as members of the Wet'suwet'en Nation explained why they support construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline.

Supporters of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs block a CN Rail line just west of Edmonton Alta, Wednesday. Speaking to the crowd at the theatre, he said protesters "only get one side of the story" and don't understand the advantages this type of infrastructure project can provide.
