Kinder Morgan has neither permission from the people – especially Indigenous peoples – nor permits from the government of BC. This project cannot move forward – end of story. It’s great to see the provincial government taking this strong stand for the climate and for Indigenous rights. Justin Trudeau should start taking notes.” -30- Contact: Cameron Fenton, , 604-369-2155
