Canada: First Nations Fight Trans Mountain Pipeline Expansion
-------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, opposition is also growing across Canada to Kinder Morgan's
proposed $5 billion Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, which would carry
oil from the Alberta tar sands region to ports in Vancouver. This is
Rueben George of the Tsleil-Waututh First Nation.

Rueben George: "This has been consistently voted the last 20 years as
the most livable place in the world, and it's because of places like
this. It's because of the mountains. It's because of the waters. It's
because people get something when they come to the water. They get
something when they're up in the mountains. And I know they will want to
protect it, too, because it doesn't service Canadians. It doesn't
service jobs, or it doesn't help our economy. It's to service a greedy 1
percent. And our plan, of what we do, using our own resources, is for
everybody."
