First Nations say they will fight oilsands, pipeline

The Canadian Press -- An alliance of First Nations leaders is preparing to fight proposed new pipelines in the courts and through unspecified direct action.

Native leaders from Canada and the United States were on Parliament Hill on Wednesday to underline opposition to both the Northern Gateway and Keystone XL pipelines.

The first would tie the Alberta oil sands to the West Coast, while the second would send bitumen to refineries on the American Gulf Coast.

Natural Resources Minister Joe Oliver said the federal government is consulting with First Nations, and is ready to hear their concerns.

Oliver said the government supports peaceful protests as part of a democracy, but "we do expect people to live within the confines of the law."

CISA Champion Author Orange County Posts:5,932 Points:1,396,085 Joined:Dec 2006	Message Posted: Mar 21, 2013 7:59:52 AM Ignore CISA Report Abuse The OK indians benefited, and still do, from OK oil First Nations, there may be a lesson here Also, Harper, who is from Alberta, has rising popularity. OIl is Now the biggest foreign currency surplus for Canada, surpassing vehicles (a combination of the rising $CA and increased oil production in Alberta, Saskatchewan and BC). If BHO doesn't approve Keystone the oil will go to China, reduce oil prices there and end polluting more than if refined in the US. This First Nations issue could force an early decision on oil sands-- especially if BHO continues to stall.
