LNG Canada, which recently employed more than 1,500 workers in Kitimat, said it expects to halve the number of staff later this week at its construction site. Coastal GasLink had 1,100 workers last month and already suspended some work in March to allow the ground to harden after the spring thaw, and will be further decreasing staffing to address COVID-19.

The Wet’suwet’en Nation comprises five clans, under which there are the 13 house groups, each with a hereditary head chief position . Earlier this month, Herb Naziel became the first house chief to support the pipeline project, breaking ranks with eight men from other house groups who oppose it.Last month, hereditary leaders asked the RCMP to remove trailer-like modules of office space used by police on duty along a logging road near Houston, B.C.

GlobeBC Wow, thanks for that information!

GlobeBC Who cares?

GlobeBC Why?

GlobeBC Thanks to them for crippling our economy just before the pandemic. Nice going.

GlobeBC Oh shit, forgot about those dudes.

GlobeBC KKK Meetings

GlobeBC Wow who cares.

GlobeBC Absolutely the right choice. But Canada, we cannot forget the important issues this meeting wanted to address--if anything, we need to look MORE at these issues after the outbreak, when reconciliation and working together will be more important than ever.

GlobeBC Of course they do, what a fiasco!
