The Coastal GasLink pipeline (CGL)

The Coastal GasLink pipeline (CGL) is a proposed 670-kilometre natural gas pipeline project between the fracking fields near Dawson Creek and a liquid natural gas (LNG) facility in the port of Kitimat. This pipeline will be owned and operated by TC Energy (formerly known as TransCanada). The gas will be liquified in Kitimat for export to Asia. The governments of British Columbia and Canada have supported the project through incentives such as tax breaks and tariff exemptions.   The CGL pipeline violates Indigenous rights and does not align with pathways to limiting global temperature rise to 1.5°C. The project has thus far been the source of violence for land defenders who currently are on trial. (source: https://www.kairoscanada.org/what-we-do/ecological-justice/coastal-gaslink-pipeline )
