Terry Teegee doesn't seem too worried about the Harper government's recent approval of the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipeline. According to the tribal chief of the Carrier Sekani Tribal Council, the announcement's low profile -- with no press conference or minister made available for comment -- signals waning support for the pipeline from the prime minister.

Why is it ecoterrorists have zero respect for the law of the land? They demand things be their way or no way and willingly destroy both public and private property as well as make threats against law abiding people when the vast majority do not agree with them.

Enbridge isn't too worried about Chief Whassisname.... The Feds have approved the project.

They are just a run-of-the-mill criminals... On the bright side, they will 3 hots and a cot

CIBC: First Nations, lawsuits will block Enbridge for years

Posted June 18, 2014 by Canadian Press in Energy and Resources

A Vancouver rally against proposed pipelines earlier this year (Damien Gillis)

By Dene Moore, The Canadian Press
VANCOUVER – One of the biggest hurdles for the Northern Gateway project is one the company has never had the means to address.
Now that the project has received federal approval, the next phase of the pipeline fight will not focus on the Calgary pipeline company but on the government that many B.C. First Nations ultimately blame for the dispute.
More than a pipeline issue

Said Peter Lantin, president of the Haida Nation, Wednesday:
For us, it’s a rights and title discussion. It’s not necessarily about a pipeline.

The Crown has failed to resolve aboriginal rights and title in B.C. for generations, he said. Now, native communities are united for a sweeping legal challenge against the federal government approval, he said.
The expected legal challenge involves a coalition that includes all three major aboriginal organizations in the province: the pro-treaty First Nations Summit, the anti-treaty Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs and the regional branch of the Assembly of First Nations, as well as dozens of individual bands.
They will meet in the coming weeks to decide on the course their case will take, Lantin said.
Lantin said the Haida recognize the importance of natural resource projects and the national interest, and he said they would be happy to have that conversation — about another project.
“There is no compromise. There is no mitigating measures that we could talk about that would satisfy or change the Haida position,” he said.
I don’t believe that after the fact we can somehow hit a reset button…The damage is done.

This wouldn't have anything to do with unresolved treaty rights and titles, would it?

This has everything to do with the fact that there are no treaties (except for a very few) in BC. Most of BC is unceded land. The feds have no right giving away land that is not theirs to give. Until this situation is resolved, there will be no pipeline. BC is an illegal province because one of the stipulations for entry into Canada was that land claims be settled. They never were.

Did you notice what I highlighted, or are you purposely ignoring the question?

Then the ROC just has to annex BC, simple.

A question: Have these groups that claim to have the unresolved Treaty Rights been benefiting or receiving any benefits from the ROC?

Complicates the issue quite a bit

I can tell that you've given-up and are scared Cliffy knowing that all the the big talk and hot air from you and your compatriots has now been determined to be of no force.

You are not a good poker player bud

You can't embrace and reject Canada at the same time.


Meanwhile in SK


Meadow Lake Tribal Council represents nine First Nations in northwestern Saskatchewan with a combined membership of 11,000. According to tribal Chief Helen Ben, oil and gas initiatives will provide MLTC members with additional employment, training and business opportunities. “We have been fortunate in the past to become significant players in the forest industry and this new funding will help us to become involved with an even larger industry. We realize that the real effort will be made by the young men and women who are still in school today, getting a better education and better training. But we know they can do it and our Tribal council intends to be there to help.”


Cliffy and his non-Canadian terrorists are taking jobs from FNs.

What gives them the Right?
