Chief Marilyn Slett, president of Coastal First Nations and chief councillor of the Heiltsuk Nation. “Time and again, we keep hearing that Coastal First Nations are opposed to any pipeline and will stop any development,” Fulmer says in the video. Fulmer & Company, the investment firm he owns that, among other things, operates nearly three dozen A&W franchises in western Canada, donated to the Coastal First Nation’s Great Bear Rainforest Carbon Project. “If our government takes money from foreign organizations, that should be disclosed too.
