Canada: Indigenous Activists Brace for Raid on Anti-Pipeline Blockade
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In British Columbia, Canada, indigenous activists who've been physically
blocking the construction of the largest fracking project in Canadian
history are bracing for a police raid on their encampment. Members of
the Unist'ot'en Clan stopped Trans Canada Corporation workers from
entering their territory on November 20 to work on the planned $4.7
billion Coastal Gas Link pipeline, but a judge has ruled that Trans
Canada can begin construction on First Nations lands.
