Podcasts about coastal gaslink

Jennifer Wickham is a filmmaker and a member of the Gidimt'en Clan of the Wet'suwet'en people. In 2012, she moved home to defend her clan's territory against multiple pipeline projects, and especially the aggression of Coastal GasLink. Her work on the documentary film Yintah is the main focus of our conversation. Yintah is about the Wet'suwet'en fight for sovereignty, and like some other documentaries that depict that fight, there is, in the film, a powerful dream of freedom for Indigenous people and an end to the war against nature. Yintah is now on Netflix (https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/8192...) after striking a deal with the streamer that will see it reach a broader audience. I was thinking about what it means to distribute a film like Yintah, which challenges the legitimacy of the Canadian state and Canadian law, on a platform like Netflix. The goal is strategic, of course: leverage the sites of power that are currently available. But the strategy is maybe more self-reflexive than it seems: in this interview, Jennifer talks about her conviction that people who identify as allies with the Indigenous nations that are resisting neocolonialism aren't always conscious of what that declaration of solidarity means. From Wickham's perspective, a more powerful and lasting movement of settler allyship would involve a more authentic commitment to collective survival and a sense of the sacrifices that entails. This film is beyond sobering. It exposes the continuum of tyranny imposed by the RCMP on Indigenous peoples. It demonstrates how corporate greed and the collusion of the state are creating a kind of asymmetrical war over the land itself, and energy, at a time when we understand better than ever that the only way to address the climate emergency is to leave oil and gas in the ground. Don't develop it. Stop killing the Earth and the people who are most connected to it. I do have to acknowledge my own complicity as a white settler in Canada, and how even wanting to be correct on these issues, the desire to express solidarity in the right or best way, can work against decolonization because it gives us a sense that, at the discursive level anyway, we get it. Actions speak louder than words, and the direct action represented in Yintah is a source of inspiration for anyone that feels the battle against fossil capital is sisyphean.

On June 25th, 2024, Cedar LNG announced a positive final investment decision (FID) for a floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility with a nameplate capacity of 3.3 million tonnes per annum (~0.4 Bcf/d) located in the traditional territory of the Haisla Nation, near Kitimat, British Columbia, on Canada's west coast. Commercial operation is expected by 2028, and the project will use the existing Coastal GasLink pipeline (also serving LNG Canada) to deliver natural gas from the production fields in British Columbia and Alberta. The project has an estimated cost of US$4 billion and will be majority-owned by the Haisla Nation. Their partner is Pembina Pipeline Corporation.This week, our guests are Crystal Smith, Chief Councillor of the Haisla Nation, and Scott Burrows, President and Chief Executive Officer of Pembina Pipeline Corporation. They explain the project, the community support, the financing, the environmental review process, and, importantly, what this project means for the Haisla Nation's economic future.Other content referenced in this podcast:Cedar LNG Announces Positive Final Investment Decision (June 25, 2024), scroll down to play the videoSee all videos about the project, including hearing from members of the Haisla Nation: Media Kit - Cedar LNGNational Bank paper making a case for a global GHG reduction from growing Canadian LNG Exports: “Canada Has a Vital Role in Deleveraging the Global Environmental Balance Sheet,” February 2024Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/  Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify 

Ep 486 - Can First Nations Save Canada's Economy? Guest: Chris Sankey   By Stuart McNish   “Canada's per capita growth has been negative three out of the last four quarters,” says Perrin Beatty, the President and CEO of the Canadian Chamber of Commerce. He adds, “Canada needs to do more to attract investment” – a sentiment that was recently shared by a panel of experts for “Conversations Live” about economic reconciliation. Haisla Chief Counselor Crystal Smith said, “First Nations hold the key to the country's economic future.”   It is a belief held by Indigenous businessman Chris Sankey, who says that “we can't afford to obstruct BC's energy sector any longer.” In an op-ed for the Vancouver Sun, Sankey said, “The chilling effect on the investment landscape of our region and of Canada in general has been terrible.”   Moving forward, Sankey is looking to LNG to generate jobs and economic growth. He says, “More than a billion dollars in indigenous procurement spending and benefits have already been negotiated with Coastal GasLink, Kitimat LNG and Woodfibre LNG. And should the Haisla make a final investment decision on Cedar LNG, the opportunities will continue to grow for everyone – not just First Nations. Everyone.”   We invited Chris Sankey to join us for a Conversation That Matters about economic reconciliation and how it can reverse Canada's sinking attractiveness to investors.

Pipelines: Keystone spill in Kansas and RCMP update the Coastal Gaslink attack Guest: Heather Exner-Pirot, Senior Fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute

This is the fifth episode in a weeklong collaboration between The Big Story and The Narwhal, an award-winning non-profit publication that provides in-depth coverage of climate issues across Canada.You've heard of Coastal GasLink: it's the name of a fracked-gas pipeline under construction in northern B.C. The project, spearheaded by Calgary-based TC Energy, spans 670 kilometres and crosses mountain passes, salmon rivers and Indigenous lands. Those lands include around 190 kilometres of Wet'suwet'en territory, where Hereditary Chiefs have long opposed this project that's being built without their consent. A year after the RCMP conducted raids and arrested more than 30 land defenders and two journalists, TC Energy is now drilling and laying pipe under a sacred Wet'suwet'en river — and tensions are as high as ever. The Narwhal's northwest B.C. reporter Matt Simmons shares his first-hand view of what's happening on the ground.Read Matt's story about the latest tensions on Wet'suwet'en territory here.Read Matt's explainer on the route of the Coastal GasLink pipeline here. 

Lawrence Gunther explores the issues surrounding Coastal GasLink's natural gas pipeline in B.C. From the November 8, 2022 episode.

Today on NOW with Dave Brown, Leni Goggins describes the New Inclusive Economy, a research project that aims to build an inclusive labour market in B.C. Lawrence Gunther explores the issues surrounding Coastal GasLink's natural gas pipeline in B.C. Nelson Rego describe the “Grid Editor,” a new coding tool for blind or partially sighted computer programmers. And, Dave Brown put Karen Magee, Ryan Delehanty and Alex Smyth to the test in another edition of our weekly news quiz. This is the November 8, 2022 episode.

De Clarke/ Cortes Currents - The government of Canada, and the BC government, state publicly that they are committed to carbon reduction and proactive responses to climate change; yet both Canada and BC remain consistently among the world's top carbon emitters per capita. In 2019 Canada was the world's highest carbon emitter per capita. On the one hand, our government proposes initiatives that would improve energy efficiency and reduce emissions — in sectors like transportation and construction. But on the other hand, they continue to subsidise existing and new fossil-fuel projects such as LNG Canada and the Coastal Gaslink pipeline — to expand fracking. Canada's Liberal government spent $4.5B to purchase the Trans-Mountain Pipeline in 2018, only to announce in Spring 2022 that no further funding would be allocated to the project as cost overruns neared 70%. But wasting money may be the least of our problems. These fossil-fuel projects have huge carbon impacts. Says Jens Wieting of Sierra Club BC, “[with pipelines and LNG] We're talking about millions of tons of, of emissions from methane leakage, from processing gas and its transportation. And then we also have to consider that the emissions will be even higher — if we consider the climate pollution from burning these fossil fuels after exporting them to other countries.”

Coastal Gaslink is poised to drill under Wedzin Kwa – The Morice River on the territory of the Wet'suwet'en. Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs and their allies have fought back for years against developments that threaten their land and waters. At this critical time, they are calling for solidarity and support. We speak with Jennifer Wickham.

By now, you might be familiar with images of RCMP officers using an axe to break down the door of a tiny house built by Indigenous land defenders on Wet'suwet'en territory. The structure was part of a camp that was blocking access to a site run by Coastal GasLink, who is currently building a natural gas pipeline through the territory, without the blessing of the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs. The raid made headlines across the country, in part because two journalists ended up being detained by the RCMP along with protestors. Why they were arrested, is just one of the questions that remains unanswered about the RCMP and B.C. government's conduct before, during and after the raid.Guest: Matt Simmons, Northwest B.C. Reporter for The NarwhalRead Matt's coverage here

EcoJustice Radio Executive Producer Jack Eidt shares speeches and discussions from multiple street actions on national and international climate, environmental, and social justice issues. The main action we feature is in solidarity with the Indigenous Peoples fighting the Coastal GasLink Pipeline now under construction on the West Coast of Canada. The Royal Bank of Canada is financially supporting a 416 mile gas pipeline through Indigenous Wet'suwet'en territory in British Columbia. They are also the parent company of City National Bank, 25% of whose business is connected to Hollywood celebrities and productions. Leonardo DiCaprio and Mark Ruffalo are now taking action among many others, creating the No More Dirty Banks [https://www.nomoredirtybanks.com/] campaign in support of the Wet'suwet'en First Nation in British Columbia, as well as signing a letter to City National Bank and their parent company Royal Bank of Canada demanding that the banks cut financial ties with and stop funding the Coastal Gas Link Pipeline. We present a speech from Climate Scientist Peter Kalmus [https://peterkalmus.net/] on building the movement for a stable climate. We also share testimony from movie writer & director Adam McKay of the recent film Don't Look Up [https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11286314/] and his calls for the Hollywood film and music industry to divest from City National Bank and their parent company, the Royal Bank of Canada, who are funding the Coastal GasLink pipeline. We hear from Indigenous and Environmental Rights activist Lydia Ponce, a Mayo-Quechua Indigenous leader and social justice activist, member of AIM (American Indian Movement), and organizer with Society of Native Nations and SoCal 350. Other Speakers: Jay Ponti - environmental/social justice organizer. George Funmaker - Red Earth Defense Keya Chaudhuri - Extinction Rebellion Youth LA and national coordinator of Extinction Rebellion Youth US. Stephanie Mushrush - American Indian Counseling Center Sim Bilal - Youth Climate Strike Los Angeles Josiah Edwards - Sunrise Movement LA We also feature excerpts of the documentary Your Voice, Our Future from the Office of the Wet'suwet'en [https://vimeo.com/user7141394] on the similar struggle in 2011 against a different pipeline, the Northern Gateway Tar Sands Pipeline by Enbridge, which was rejected by all the first Nations and eventually by the government of Canada. Speakers include: Klaseet - Violet Gellenbeck Chief Madeek - Jeff Brown Virginia deWit Chief Na'moks - John Ridsdale - The Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs have maintained their use and occupancy of their lands and hereditary governance system for thousands of years. Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs are the Title Holders and maintain authority and jurisdiction to make decisions on the unceded Wet'suwet'en lands.

Welcome to Gorilla Radio, recorded May 21st, 2022 In February of 2020, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police launched assaults against indigenous land defenders resisting TC Energy's plans to run the Coastal Gaslink pipeline across their Yintah, or traditional territory. The raids came as organized solidarity actions across Canada - and outside the country too - had garnered broad support, and forced government concessions. The burgeoning campaign however was abruptly derailed by the emergence of the  Covid-19 pandemic just as it was proving most effective. But  despite the rude interruption the Wet'suwet'en's fight never stopped, and it continues still. Stefan Spirodan Christoff is a Montréal-based community activist, artist, and media maker whose Free City Radio program broadcasts from CKUT and CJLO radio in Montréal, and features across the internet. Christoff too coordinates Musicians for Palestine and serves on the board of the Immigrant Workers Centre in Côte-Des-Neiges and with the Cinema Politica Network. Stefan's articles also appear at,  among other places, Breach Media and CanadianDimensions.com, where I found his recent article, 'Divesting from Colonialism: A Call for McGill University to Respect Wet'suwet'en Self-Determination.' Stefan Christoff in the first half. And; the good people of Asheville, North Carolina spent their Earth Day disrupting number one global arms dealer, Raytheon's local evil-doing projects turning plowshares to  spears by building weapons plants on top of the state's famously fecund farmland. Ken Jones is a retired educator and lifelong anti-war activist. The former University of Southern Maine professor of teacher education and middle school teacher is too a proud draft resister of America's war against Vietnam and is currently an active associate member of Asheville's chapter of Veterans for Peace. Ken Jones and Rejecting Raytheon in the second half. But first, Stefan Christoff and decolonizing McGill, and ourselves. Chris Cook has hosted Gorilla Radio since 1999.

Listen to the 100th edition of Free City Radio, the last in a series of interviews worked on in collaboration with breachmedia.ca In this interview we hear from Chris Gusen of 350.org in Canada speaking about possibilities of climate justice victories within the context of a minority Liberal government. This interview presses on the important of sustained and committed grassroots action around challenging the great distance between the political rhetoric of the Liberal Party around the climate and their support for corporate oil and gas pipelines being built on Indigenous lands, like the Coastal GasLink pipeline on Wet'suwet'en land. In this interview, Chris specifically speaks on the political rhetoric deployed by Justin Trudeau during the last Federal election around a "just transition," from fossil fuels, and the urgent need to see that rhetoric translate into actual policy. Music on this edition by @williamryanfritch of @losttribesound Free City Radio now shares 1 new edition a week, coming out on Wednesday mornings. Currently we are working with multiple campus / community stations in Canada to rebroadcast the program.

Ahead of budget day in Alberta, economist Trevor Tombe joins us to discuss how the province is in a better position than anyone had anticipated. And, Global News reporter Emad Agahi joins us to give the latest on the attack at the Coastal GasLink site in B.C.

This week  Andrew, Gavin, Liz, Peter and Pierre are on the panel to talk about the necessity of the Emergencies Act, which was definitely one hundred percent required to stop violent terrorists from occupying Ottawa and take away their access to the financial system. The Government even promised to not abuse these extraordinary powers, and will revert them as soon as the crisis ends.  Intro Hello to all you patriots out there in podcast land and welcome to Episode 337 of Canadian Patriot Podcast.

On this episode of Face to Face: Logan Staats Staats is an award-winning musician and land defender from Six Nations of the Grand River Territory. He shares his story after recently being arrested while joining the fight against the Coastal GasLink pipeline project.

Pensions to Pipelines? You may have seen recent headlines or images from the ongoing struggle of the Wet'suwet'en, a First Nations people located in the area known by settlers as British Columbia, Canada, and their resistance to the invasion of their territory by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. The RCMP has been enforcing the construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline, a means to bring fracked natural gas from further inland to the coast. In this episode we learn from Heung member and law student, HyunGu Kang about the revival of the pipeline through South Korean capital and investment by its national pension system. We also hear other Heung members in conversation with Hyun Gu thinking through how South Koreans, members of the diaspora, and non-Korean allies are implicated in this struggle. The second segment of this episode is framed by five questions asked of anyone looking to enter Wet'suwet'en land: 1. Who are you? 2. Where are you from? 3. What is your purpose in coming here? 4. Do you work for industry or government that is destroying our lands? 5. How will your visit benefit the Wet'suwet'en people?

Hello and welcome to rabble radio. It's the week of Friday, December 10. I'm your host and the editor of rabble.ca, Chelsea Nash. This week on the podcast, rabble contributor Brent Patterson interviews Wet'suwet'en land defenders Eve Saint and Jocelyn, or Jocey, Alec. Eve and Jocey are sisters who have been arrested and criminalized for defending their sovereign territory in northern British Columbia from a fracked gas pipeline being built on those lands without consent. Eve was arrested by the RCMP on February 7, 2020, at the Gidimt'en checkpoint blockade at the 44-kilometre mark on the Morice River Forest Service Road. There were 60-100 police officers present, including the Emergency Response Team (ERT), dressed in army green and carrying automatic weapons. Before she was arrested, Eve said to them:  “This is Wet'suwet'en territory. We are unarmed. We are peaceful. This is unceded territory. This is the territory of Woos. I am his daughter. You are invaders. You are not allowed here. You are not welcome.” Eve was charged with obstruction of justice and held in custody for four days. More recently, Jocey was arrested by the RCMP on November 19, 2021, while inside a cabin at Coyote camp near the 63-kilometre mark on the road. That cabin was built on the Marten Forest Service Road near Morice River to stop Coastal GasLink from drilling under the river to lay the pipe for its pipeline. Jocey was inside the cabin when the RCMP used an axe and then a chainsaw to tear down its front door as an ERT officer pointed an automatic weapon at those inside. Journalist Michael Toledano filmed this dramatic footage of the assault. Jocey was charged with civil contempt for breaching the terms of an injunction granted to Coastal GasLink not released from custody until November 23. Eve has said: “The post-traumatic stress is real. As Indigenous peoples, we don't like to see these images of our relatives and loved ones being invaded with these colonial forces.” Take a listen to these two powerful women as they discuss their experiences with Brent.  That was rabble contributor Brent Patterson interviewing Wet'suwet'en land defenders Eve Saint and Jocelyn Alec. Now, it's time for the segment we call: IN CASE YOU MISSED IT. This week at rabble, a new report from the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives shows just how much higher the risk of contracting COVID-19 is for Indigenous, racialized workers, senior national politics correspondent Karl Nerenberg reports.  The new report does an analysis of jobs that require close physical contact with others and where risk of infection is highest. This includes jobs in health and long-term care, retail and warehousing and food processing. Here, the researchers' findings are striking. They identify not only a race and ethnicity gap, but also a gender gap. Indigenous women had the highest share of employment — over 30 percent — in the occupations that ranked as most dangerous and risky due to the physical proximity to others these roles demand. Next were non-Indigenous women at 28 per cent, followed by Indigenous men at 14.6 per cent. Non-Indigenous men had only a 12.5 per cent share of these dangerous and risky jobs. Racialized workers held well more than half — 57 per cent — of the jobs that included, to some degree, what the CCPA describes as “close proximity” to others. It is interesting to note that white women worked these jobs at almost as high a rate. On the other hand, a third of racialized men and only 28 per cent of white men worked in such high-risk situations. Overall, the CCPA notes that: “the fault lines of the pandemic have been drawn between low-wage and high-wage workers, between women and men, between those who could safely work from home and those who risked infection at work, between Indigenous Peoples and settlers, and between racialized and white Canadians (sic).” The study also noted that From July 2020 to June 2021, 28 per cent of Indigenous and 31 per cent of racialized households lived with economic insecurity. They lacked adequate funds to pay for basic needs such as food, housing and medicines. For white households, the proportion was much smaller: 16 per cent. It's these exact systemic disparities that authors Karen-Marie Elah Perry and Shila Avissa say are being brushed aside in our governments' ongoing pandemic response. Why are we being asked, they wonder, to return back to "normal" or to build "back," when "normal" is what got us here in the first place? Why are we being told that the pandemic is over because businesses have reopened meanwhile new variants are spreading rapidly across the globe, and the majority of the Global South is left without access to vaccinations?  "Whether driven by a focus on the economy above the wellbeing of workers, white supremacy's refusal to acknowledge the pandemic's ongoing impacts on racialized communities, or toxic masculinity's tendency to conceal vulnerability and “push through” the emotional pain of the pandemic, gaslighting is culturally systemic," the authors write.  Also this week:  Writer and land defender Kelly Tatham writes about her decision to divest her personal funds from the Royal Bank of Canada due to its involvement in funding fossil fuel projects like the Coastal Gaslink project currently being pushed without consent through Wet'suwet'en land. There's absolutely no reason to continue letting the big banks use our savings to bulldoze through Indigenous rights and fund the destruction of the planet. Even if there isn't enough money in your account to make a measurable difference in fossil fuel project investments, closing your account sends a message and creates a ripple effect, both inspiring others to do the same and empowering you to take on more tangible actions in your day-to-day life, Tatham writes, as she encourages others to take similar action.  Stephen Wentzell reports that Canada has been failing children living in impoverished conditions across the country for decades. At the current rate, childhood poverty won't be eradicated until the 2070s, according to a recently published report from Campaign 2000. The report concluded Canada has over 1.3 million children living in poverty, making up nearly one in five children. Between 2018 and 2019, just 24,170 children were lifted out of poverty, representing less than one per cent of Canada's impoverished youth. That's it for this week!

Hello and welcome to rabble radio. It's the week of Friday, November 25. I'm your host and the editor of rabble, Chelsea Nash.  The top stories of this week include the Trudeau government's return to Parliament. On Tuesday, we heard the Governor General deliver the speech from the throne. While Parliament will only resume for a very short time before it breaks again for the holidays, what did we learn about what's to come? And, rabble's coverage of the Wet'suwet'en crisis is ongoing. Contributor Brent Patterson traveled to the region to cover events as they unfolded. You'll hear the latest on that in just a few minutes. Rabble breaks down the news of the day from a progressive lens. It's a good place to catch up and catch on to what's happening in Canadian politics, activism, environment, and so much more. Listen to us on Apple podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.  We catch you up on the news of the week and take you further into the stories that matter to you.  This week on the show, we welcome back Libby Davies as she interviews political scientist Dr. Jeanette Ashe about the state of women in politics in Canada.  Dr. Ashe is the Chair of the Political Science Department at Douglas College and Visiting Faculty at the Global Institute for Women's Leadership, King's College, London. Her research interests include political recruitment, political parties, representation, and gender and politics. She is the author of Political Candidate Selection: Who Wins, Who Loses and Under-representation in the UK (Routledge, 2020). Other recent publications include Gender Sensitivity Under Trudeau: Facebook Feminism or Real Change? (University of Toronto, 2020), and Canada's Political Parties: Gatekeepers to Parliament (Palgrave, 2020). She advises legislatures, parties, and organizations on assessing gender and diversity sensitivity and advises legislators on drafting legislation on gender equity and democratic reform. Libby Davies, as you may know, is the author of Outside In: a Political Memoir. She served as the MP for Vancouver East from 1997-2015, and is former NDP Deputy Leader and House Leader, and is recipient of the Order of Canada.  The two discuss the barriers that continue to exist for women in Canadian politics, despite the fact that the electorate is actually more likely to support women candidates. After an election like the one we just had, which saw the Liberals lose four female cabinet members, it's a good time to once again examine how our political parties here in Canada have a tendency to not support women and other diverse candidates. Here's their conversation, take a listen. IN CASE YOU MISSED IT This week at rabble, contributor Brent Patterson goes to the Wet'suwet'en territory and reports on the RCMP's raid of the protestors' blockade there as they defend the land against the Coastal GasLink pipeline project. Just days after the conclusion of the United Nations COP26 climate summit in Glasgow and calls from international groups to stop the criminalization of Indigenous land defenders, militarized police violence against defenders in Canada has seemingly become normalized, Patterson writes. Over 30 people and three journalists were arrested on November 18 and 19. It was the third RCMP assault on Wet'suwet'en territory in support of the Coastal GasLink fracked gas pipeline being constructed on their territory without free, prior and informed consent, with the first two taking place in January and February of this year.  Patterson raised some questions about the infrastructure that enabled the raids. RCMP officers were seen arriving at Smithers airport and being carried away in two white school buses. In the days after the raid, the same make of white school buses were seen emerging from the Coastal GasLink man-camp on the Morice River Forest Service Road -- the same road that had been blockaded. This begged the question: were the RCMP using the Coastal GasLink camp to stage their raid? What other state infrastructure did they use to carry out the raid? Patterson reviews what they've used before.  Further, Patterson reports there are first-hand witness accounts of the RCMP in Coastal GasLink cars on the territory and RCMP officers arriving in Coastal GasLink-marked buses in the nearby town of New Hazelton to break-up a rail blockade in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en. According to Patterson, all of this is compounded by the Canadian government's financial involvement in the GasLink project -- notably its $275 million investment in June 2019 supporting the LNG Canada export terminal along with Export Development Canada's $250 million to $500 million loan to Coastal GasLink in May 2020 for the construction of the pipeline. The appearance of collusion between the police and an energy company, along with the disregard of international human rights norms raise profound concerns that must be addressed, Patterson concludes. Also on the site this week:  John Miller reports on a new survey from the Canadian Association of Journalists about who is telling you the news. Thursday, the CAJ released its inaugural measurement of the diversity of people who assign, cover and present the news. CAJ measured 3,873 news people at 209 media outlets, making it the largest-ever survey of the demographics of television and radio broadcasters, online news operations, and daily and community newspapers. Unsurprisingly, the typical Canadian newsroom is not representative of the Canadian population, with more than half of the newsrooms surveyed only employing white journalists.  Joyce Nelson reports on a terrible paradox facing the so-called green energy transition: to develop windmills, solar panels, and the like, many metals and minerals will need to be mined. MiningWatch Canada is estimating that “[Three] billion tons of mined metals and minerals will be needed to power the energy transition” – a “massive” increase especially for six critical minerals: lithium, graphite, copper, cobalt, nickel and rare earth minerals. With mining being an exploitative and dirty industry -- of which Canadian companies are at the fore -- perhaps the green energy transition is more red than green after all.  Plus -- Karl Nerenberg breaks down the speech from the throne, though as he reports, there's not much to break down. It was a speech full of platitudes and lacking in clear commitments, he writes. Catch Nerenberg and our other distinguished panelists next week for our Off the Hill live politics panel, where the theme is "Games of the Throne" and the return of Parliament. MP Leah Gazan will be there, as will Indigenous activist and writer Clayton Thomas-Müller and poet and scholar El Jones.  Find all the details of that and so much more at rabble.ca.

Justin Trudeau's government has reached a deal with the hereditary chiefs who oppose the Coastal GasLink pipeline – except the deal has nothing to do with the pipeline, and the chiefs haven't even agreed to it yet. This has been nothing but a stalling tactic by the protesters, True North's Andrew Lawton says.

Our new podcast. This episode: on the Wet'suwet'en evicting Coastal GasLink in Canada, and the RCMP raid on behalf of the pipeline company. Includes an interview with Jeffrey Monaghan, co-author of Policing Indigenous Movements: Dissent and the Security State (Fernwood 2018), and a passage from Nick Estes's book Our History is the Future: Standing Rock Versus the Dakota … Continue reading "The Brief on Wet'suwet'en"

The Wet'suwet'en evict Coastal GasLink, who are trying to build a gas pipeline through their territory. We discuss the context of their struggle against the Canadian state and corporations, and talk with Jeffrey Monaghan about the policing of Indigenous movements.   Thanks to Michael Toledano for the audio of Freda Huson delivering the Wet'suwet'en eviction notice and Praxis Media for the excerpt of Dr. Roland Chrisjohn from Hoping against Hope.

0:08 – Across what's called “Canada,” First Nations peoples are fighting for their land, water and way of life as multibillion-dollar corporations attempt to build pipeline projects on unceded territories. Members of the Wet'suwet'en Nation are resisting the Coastal GasLink pipeline, facing arrests while defending their ancestral territories. We speak with Molly Wickham, the spokesperson for Gidimt'en Clan, and Kanahus Manuel (@KanahusFreedom), who is from the Secwepemc and Ktunaxa Nations of the south-central interior of what's called British Columbia. Manuel is a member of the activist group Tiny House Warriors, which is rejecting the Trans Mountain pipeline. Click here to find out more about the Unist'ot'en Camp, which is a coordinated resistance to a trio of Canadian pipelines. 0:34 – Why does the Department of Homeland Security list climate activists alongside white supremacists and mass murderers in its internal documents about extremism? Journalist Adam Federman (@adamfederman), who broke the story, joins us along with Lauren Regan, executive director of the Civil Liberties Defense Center (@CLDC) in Eugene, Oregon. The Civil Liberties Defense Center provides legal support to environmental defenders and is representing activists arrested in 2016 for manually turning off pipeline valves to stop the flow of tar sands oil into the U.S. from Canada. 0:54 – Ever since endangered Gray Wolves were reintroduced to Yellowstone National Park, they have thrived and spread throughout the West, including in California's Lassen and Plumas counties. In 2018 a Gray Wolf known as OR-59 was shot and killed in Northern California.  The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service is investigating the incident and has offered a $2,500 reward for information leading to the shooter. KPFA's Vic Bedoian reports from Fresno. 1:08 – Palestinians are reacting furiously to President Trump's Middle East “peace” plan, and thousands have taken to the streets to reject the policies. The plan offers Palestinians no sovereignty, retains Israel's security control, rejects a Palestinian “right of return” and furthers Israel's illegal settlements. KPFA correspondent Rami Almegheri reports from Gaza and speaks with protesters. 1:15 – Historian and Columbia University professor Rashid Khalidi has a new book out this week: The Hundred Years' War On Palestine: A History of Settler Colonialism and Resistance, 1917–2017. He says President Trump's Middle East “peace” plan is the work of “two miscreants” — Trump, under impeachment, and Netanyahu, recently indicted — and that it flies in the face of international law and the rights of Palestinians. 1:34 – The FBI has arrested San Francisco's head of the Department of Public Works, Mohammed Nuru in a widespread corruption probe. Tim Redmond (@timredmondsf), a political and investigative reporter in San Francisco for more than 30 years and the editor of 48hills.org, explains the investigation. 1:43 – Mitch Jeserich (@MitchJeserich), host of Letters and Politics, gives an update on impeachment. KPFA is broadcasting impeachment proceedings every day live from 10 a.m. until the evening.
