Canadian Police Investigating Sabotage of Coastal GasLink Pipeline Worksite
---------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Canada, police say they are investigating after an overnight attack
at a Coastal Gas Link pipeline worksite in British Columbia Thursday.
Coastal Gas Link says their workers were attacked, though none were
injured, and "millions of dollars" in damages were incurred. There have
been no arrests or identified suspects thus far. Indigenous communities
have mounted a years-long resistance against the pipeline, which is
built on sovereign First Nations land. Local activists are warning the
events could enable a further crackdown on Indigenous and environmental
groups.
