The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that a first nations group in British Columbia is urging Ottawa and Alberta to stop advancing the West Coast pipeline, saying it will worsen climate change and environmental disasters. A Canadian Press dispatch to The Globe reports that the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs said in a letter addressed to Prime Minister Mark Carney and Premier Danielle Smith, "The destructive and disastrous consequences of expanding fossil fuel production extend far beyond any single territory." The letter is signed by the group's heads, including Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, and it said British Columbia's Premier David Eby also has a copy of it. The pipeline would be owned by Trans Mountain, the Alberta Petroleum Marketing Commission and Pembina Pipeline. Ottawa and Alberta have agreed the pipeline would be conditional on a carbon storage project called Pathways, and vice versa. Pathways would prevent emissions from increased oil production from entering the atmosphere. The Canadian Climate Institute said in July, however, that emissions from the increased production that a new West Coast pipeline would enable far eclipse what Pathways would prevent from entering the atmosphere.
