Damage alleged to salmon spawning grounds by Coastal GasLink pipeline constructionThe commission noted it has not received a formal complaint about the pipeline river crossing but is following up based on the information. Ya right, they’ll say just about anything, they even said lamprey creek is completely gone 😆😆😆 Well Spiecapag is doing the work and they absolutely suck. Not even Canadian based. The management of that contractor are just a bunch of losers. As you can see here. An absolute dumpster fire of a company. Should have been booted from that project two years ago. Brutal company. Also reported that the machines working in the water were doing so to install the isolation (protection). Did anyone present any evidence of smothered eggs, or just conjecture? One machine in a large creek isn't going to produce more sed than a 15mm rain event, which is natural.

It happens regularly

Judges, lawyers and cops are proof that there is no rule of law in Canada. They do things that would put normal people in jail or have consequences. Local media has ignored this problem ruthlessly and helped these bad actors stay hidden. For example: Is there a place to purchase VOCM mugs!? Newfoundland has become a liberal shithole, quick somebody give da newfies a handout to make them happy again.
