Activists Arrested After Blockading Port of Vancouver in Pipeline Protest
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

In the Pacific Northwest, five activists were arrested for blockading
part of the Port of Vancouver, Washington, Tuesday to prevent a shipment
of pipeline intended to be used in an expansion of Canada's Trans
Mountain pipeline. Five climbers locked themselves to the dock where the
shipment was to be offloaded. This is the latest action demanding that
the Port of Vancouver and government officials halt the oil pipeline's
expansion, which would triple the system's capacity.
