#Canada is a #climate criminal as it accelerates cultural genocide & mass extinction by bulldozing the #TransMountain pipeline through sacred #Indigenous lands. The CER works for oil companies, not the people of Canada. #ReconciliationIsDead #StopTMX #climatecrisis https://www.thestar.com/business/regulator-rules-in-favour-of-trans-mountain-route-deviation/article_b344403d-987b-506d-9762-ce6ef2e4718b.html

Ottawa has sent out invitations to Indigenous nations that have territory along the Trans-Mountain pipeline route to come to the table if they have interest in a buy-in for an equity stake in the project.

But the five Indigenous groups that formed after the government purchased the pipeline in 2018 and that expressed interest in ownership will have to sit this first phase out.

#Canadian government agency has guaranteed fresh commercial loans of up to C$3 billion ($2.2 billion) to the controversial #TransMountain pipeline expansion project that has suffered repeated cost overruns.
The information disclosed by Export Development #Canada (EDC) showed that a new loan guarantee of C$2.75-C$3 billion was signed in July, though it first appeared on EDC's website late on Friday.

How should we call this weekend’s rain floods in #Canada then? #TransMountain Floods maybe?

@dan613 As the article points out there is lack of clarity about "the loans and financial support to oil and gas companies." The nature of the loans to #CoastalGasLink and #TransMountain have long been understood as a subsidy not a loan of public funds to be repaid with interest. Then there is the bigger question of making loans or other forms of financial support with public resources to a dying industry that is taking our planetary home down with it.

#Indigenous #FirstNations folks who are trying to buy #TransMountain #Oil #Pipeline #Sellouts & going against #Elders #teachings & #dishonouring their #ancestors because #greed is their disease & they possess #ColonizedMinds - not thinking or planning for #7Generations #futures & I don't respect that. They're the exact same kinda #selfish & #greedy #humans that my family didn't tolerate. My fam torched sellout leaders homes. Painful to see sellouts here, falling into greed pits.

An #IndigenousLed #initiative is still pursuing #ownership of the #TransMountain #pipeline in spite of the project's ballooning price tag.
"We are not going away, just because it's $30.9 billion. We are entering into the early stages of negotiations," said Stephen Mason, managing director of #ProjectReconciliation , a #Calgary based group that is working to facilitate the purchase of a major #equity stake in the pipeline for 129 #FirstNations along the route.

From article dated June 1:

"...the grassroots advocacy group #Stand.earth found that the banks— #TD Securities, #RBC Capital Markets, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (#CIBC), #BMO Capital Markets, #Scotiabank, and National Bank of Canada—quietly agreed last month to lend CAD $10 billion (U.S. $7.9 billion) to #TransMountain Corporation"

“Coquihalla #River #salmon population is being threatened during migration... it is unacceptable that they be placed in danger over the priorities of a fossil fuel company.”

"He is urging #TransMountain to halt work at the river until the migration is complete."

"Dr. Kate Tairyan has shared photos with the media of dead salmon in the river, some with bellies full of eggs."

Wow, I knew I didn't want a pipeline for my children to look forward to but I didn't know I had this many reasons. This is a pretty thorough list of criticisms on the #transmountain #pipeline. It goes so far past just the costs though.
