None should be in the slightest surprised at the anti-British Columbia stance of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals. As Talleyrand famously noted when, after the fall of Napoleon the Bourbons were restored, “they learned nothing and forgot nothing”.
Thus it is with the Liberals who, once safely back in power, turn their attention to repaying supporters, namely Ontario financiers and the oil industry, often the same people. This ancient Liberal policy never fails.
Thousands of protestors cried betrayal Saturday during a massive march against Justin Trudeau’s anticipated approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
The federal government will make a decision by Dec. 19 on whether to allow Texas energy giant Kinder Morgan to twin its existing pipeline, which primarily carries bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands to the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby.

The effects of climate change disproportionately affect indigenous people around the world, although they contribute to it the least.
That’s one message Manitoba’s regional chief to the Assembly of First Nations has taken to Marrakech, Morocco, where leaders from around the world have gathered for the United Nations climate conference.
Kevin Hart, who co-chairs the AFN’s committee on climate and the environment, told CTV Winnipeg indigenous economies are built on a harmonious relationship with nature.
Indigenous stories: Group led by UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Phillip will sign on to do “whatever it takes” to stop pipeline.
People at a mass rally against Kinder Morgan on Saturday are expected to make a group pledge to take escalating actions if the pipeline project is approved.
The event will begin at City Hall at noon and is expected to draw hundreds of people including Indigenous, provincial and municipal leaders, as well as Green Party Leader Elizabeth May.
The e-mail I sent last week didn't have a working paypal link for credit card donations!
I am re-sending with the correct link. Funds are still being requested so Kanahus can more easily continue her work. We're about 1/6 of the way to the goal! Thanks everyone!!!
OAKLAND, Calif. (KTVU) - Hundreds of union members and supporters gathered outside of a Wells Fargo branch in downtown Oakland this afternoon to call on the bank to divest from the Dakota Access Pipeline, an oil pipeline project in North
Dakota that has become a flash point for environmental and Native American advocates.
"No Dakota Access Pipeline, water is life," the protesters chanted as they arrived, referring to concerns that the project could pollute drinking water in the area, including on land occupied by the Standing Rock
Sioux tribe.
