The Union of BC Indian Chiefs issued a statement Thursday November 18 objecting to the use of provincial resources to quell pipeline protests rather than addressing the province\u2019s state of emergency in the south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are absolutely outraged that the Province of B.C. authorized a military-style raid on peaceful land defenders in order to allow Coastal GasLink to build their Liquified Natural Gas pipeline, while much of the province is suffering from life-threatening, catastrophic flooding related events,\u201d UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Phillip said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPrioritizing fossil fuel expansion while British Columbians grapple with a climate emergency is an alarming, criminal and incredibly poor decision by Premier Horgan and Mike Farnworth, Minister of Public Safety and Solicitor General.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

BCCLA is appalled by the increasing and overwhelming presence of militarized RCMP in unceded, un-surrendered Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en territory. We condemn the RCMP for its use of an illegal exclusion zone.<\/p><\/blockquote><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 The RCMP flew in an unknown number of officers to nearby Smithers on a charter Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The RCMP moved onto the road accompanied by heavy machinery to take back the road, clear camps and an occupied drill pad site. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So far, fourteen people are in custody awaiting a bail hearing as aresult of <\/a>50 police officers arrived at the Morice West Forest Service Road south of Houston, B.C., to clear the resource road after Wet\u2019suwet\u2019en members opposing the 670-kilometre Coastal GasLink pipeline blocked access to two work camps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
