An Indigenous group is urging other First Nations to not invest in the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion, arguing it is not a sound investment. It warns of potential financial risks tied to the proposed pipeline expansion if it gets the ultimate green light from Ottawa. Indian Chiefs says that she chooses the health of the southern resident killer whales over the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion. Buffalo said he respects the opinions of Indigenous leaders opposed to pipelines, but believes many communities would still stand to benefit from the Trans Mountain expansion. "The debate is extremely polarized," said Stephen Buffalo with the Indian Resource Council, which is considering investing in the Trans Mountain pipeline project.
