The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday, Dec. 6, edition that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau could be facing similar protests like the one the Standing Rock Sioux Tribe is waging in North Dakota. The Globe's Justine Hunter writes that a bitter, drawn-out battle will likely be fought in the courts and on the ground -- only this time in the streets of Burnaby and Vancouver. The toughest opposition to Trans Mountain will come from the settler population of Vancouver and the Lower Mainland, not first nations. Many of them believe that pipelines are an existential threat to life on Earth. For these people, there is no hope of compromise. Better consultation processes will not change their minds, and better safety measures will not reassure them. How to manage this impassioned minority will be Mr. Trudeau's greatest challenge. Ms. Hunter says Mr. Trudeau has overpromised and underdelivered. Environmentalists imagined he was one of them, until they discovered that he is not. Environmentalists and lots of native groups will never be happy with this deal. Ms. Hunter says they will not stop fighting -- legally, at least. She says this will be a litigators' dream for many years to come.
