— Dozens of Indigenous youth and other demonstrators gathered at Kinder Morgan’s Burnaby Terminal on Saturday, in the latest in a string of protests this past week against the expansion of the Trans Mountain pipeline. Protect the Inlet spokeswoman Virginia Cleaveland said 57 protesters had been arrested by early Saturday evening, bringing the week’s total to 172 arrests. “We’re taking a stand against the Kinder Morgan pipeline, we’re standing up against bullies. “They teach us the ways to take care of the land and carry on the traditions of our people,” she said. The Trans Mountain pipeline expansion would triple the flow of oil products from Alberta to the B.C.
