VANCOUVER — An alleged violent incident at a pipeline work site in northern British Columbia that saw people, some armed with axes, attack security guards has left workers traumatized, according to the company behind the project.
The attack was the latest in a long list of incidents taking place around the project, which some local Indigenous groups and their supporters have strenuously opposed, arguing hereditary chiefs have not consented to it. Police said unidentified people threw smoke bombs and lit sticks at officers as the Mounties bypassed “debris and traps.” One officer was injured, but the nature of the injuries was not revealed. Coastal GasLink said images of the attackers have been given to police.
Elected chiefs support the project, however, and a B.C. court has issued an injunction against those seeking to interfere with it.to provincial inspectors, and earlier this week the company ultimately behind the project, TC Energy Corp., said it will be significantly over budget by the time it’s done.
The attack should not have happened.
Ha ha.
Sid_Seixeiro Unbelievable hope they catch them!
Arrest all those BIPOC terrorists and send them to Guantanamo for interrogation.
They are near the Highway of Tears and their work inflicts violence on land defenders. CGL should pay them fairly and send them home. They'll going to be even more traumatized if this 'attack' is as fake as it looks.
