Today's resignation of Canada's finance minister, Bill Morneau, has been the talk of the chattering classes in Ottawa and Toronto.

But here in southwestern B.C., he'll always be remembered as the man who forced an economically absurd pipeline on residents of this region, including the Coast Salish peoples.

Dear friends of Stop KM on Bby Mtn. (from 2014),

Dr. Tim Takaro has been in his tree beside the Brunette River for 10 days, his goal being of course, to keep TransMountain from cutting down the beautiful cottonwood trees that are keeping him aloft. He is also putting himself physically in the way of Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion project construction. He climbed the mature cottonwoods on Monday August 3rd, within a section of the pipeline route along the Brunette River that is scheduled to be cleared between August 1st and September 15th.
