The Trans Mountain Pipeline: A Crime Against Humanity

As wildfires force thousands out of their homes just a short distance away, one of the most heinous crimes imaginable (namely contributing to the destruction of all life on our planet) is being committed by our Canadian government (both the PCs and the Liberals are responsible) - expanding the deadly Trans Mountain Pipeline. A 24-year-old Indigenous woman who was arrested and sentenced to three weeks in jail for peacefully protesting this dreadful crime has written an excellent article, for which I am not permitted to provide a link on Facebook. 

How is it possible that the government of a country like Canada is still actively promoting our reliance on fossil fuels at a time when the world desperately needs to end such reliance? I don’t know the answer but we need to make our voices heard. Maya Laframboise is doing her part. Here’s the link to her article: https://breachmedia.ca/to-stop-a-pipeline-a-three-week-jail-sentence-was-a-small-price-to-pay/

And here’s the link to the excellent 2018 documentary Directly Affected: Pipeline Under Pressure. The film is a bit dated now but still relevant. https://vimeo.com/ondemand/directlyaffected
