All benefit is pointed towards capitalist society and oil and gas companies who hold majority of wealth , if money and power is in wrong hands the result of Saïd projects is simple : corruptness

Government probably didn’t consider all possible routes for pipeline , also who does really benefit from a major pipeline ? If the land can’t uphold the major changes that they are trying to implement then nothing matters , nature and environment should come first .

Building a pipeline that transports natural gas would benefit the world as it would reduce global emissions of carbon dioxide.

Are the legal steps made to obtain the land (as mentioned in Carmen’s article) the ‘correct’ steps given that the land they are trying to obtain is unceded?

What baffles me is the fact that the river in the land is a natural resource of fresh drinking water. So if nature is giving us the resources we need to live, why should we implement a pipeline and destroy what is already there!
The government could instead work towards a long term solution for BC to help sustain our environment and it’s resources. As a result, this would benefit the Wet’suwet’en youth and the future of all our people. I understand that the pipeline helps us with our everyday lives, but instead of focusing on today, we should focus on eliminating non-renewable resources for a better more sustainable and renewable future. I know it will take time, but it could be a better topic for discussion. Ridsdale says he is worried about preserving the cultural history, so how can we compromise and figure out another way that benefits everyone on the big scale?

When faced with big problem; there should be a solution that solves all of the problems and works around them, instead of plowing through the problem.

This quotes the UNDRIP document, which pertains directly:  "recognizes the need to respect and promote the inherent rights...to their lands, territories and resources".  And, "Recognizing that respect for indigenous knowledge, cultures and traditional practices contributes to sustainable and equitable development and proper management of the environment."

As Matthew mentioned, LNG will evaporate into air upon spill, however, the process of building the pipeline through the land, it is causing immense ecological damage.

Once again, with most fossil fuel industries, it is only a few who "benefit" and these are all corporate shareholders.

It mentions that they land they want to make these pipelines on could be a gravesite and at the moment it doesn’t seem to be making much of a difference and Mike Ridsdale points out “Where else in Canada can you put a road over what could be a gravesite?”

It seems like the agreement to the UN rights of indigenous peoples is mainly for good will. The fact that they aren’t applying this for the old pipeline seems to back this up. It will be interesting to see if they actually respect their agreements if they ever try to create more pipelines.

The fact that B.C's Heritage Conservation act allows for protected heritage sites to be destroyed with a simple permit is extremely inconsiderate and immoral.

The government is so focused on economic growth that they're ignoring everything else. This greed is a global problem and is going to ruin the environment.

Coastal Gaslink has maintained their legality, but the Canadian government has breached the rights of Indigenous peoples across Canada, all for profit.

“These are not our personal beliefs or opinions”: this statement although polite, is bold and powerful. For years the first peoples have been spoken for, on these issues regarding land, ceremonies and environmental impacts. The small select reserves that remains is still owned by the crown, even though this land for decades has been lived on and nurtured by the first people who respectively live there.

Does legal action trump lineage to land?

Many international laws aren’t respected due to a lack of enforcement. The United Nations cannot intervene in conflicts without the permission of the countries and the parties involved. It would be an infringement or disrespect of sovereignty if they did so which could cause further conflict. However, considering Canada is an avid member of the UN, the implementation of international law, especially when this country has such a history of human rights infringements against First Nations.  Self-governing rights of First Nations People should be a priority. Why isn’t it? Why is the government not allowing the communities of First Nations to decide what happens on their traditional land? If First Nations Land makes up 1% of the country, why aren’t we allowing self-governance?

My article keeps bringing evidence and reports to the government and the pipeline companies and it keeps saying that they never responded and I think it is that they can’t answer because the facts are against it and they know it.
