Monday afternoon would unfold as a battle on Wet’suwet’en traditional territory in the remote mountains of Northern B.C. Militarized RCMP officers carrying assault weapons, backed up by sniper rifles . . .

The Wet’suwet’en Hereditary Chiefs have by absolutely no means agreed to let the Coastal GasLink pipeline tear through our traditional territories.

Chief Na’moks, Hereditary Chief of the Wet’suwet’en, said the agreement is only with RCMP, not Coastal GasLinks.
“All we would agree to today is just the legal order, we would not go beyond that. That is the only reason we had them in. This is not a consideration or accommodation in any way,” said Na’moks.
The Hereditary Chiefs announced a tentative agreement Wednesday, but there were still some details they wanted to finalize before reaching an agreement. One of the details was the Unist’ot’en camp being able to keep the metal gate to control access.
Na’moks said the people at the camp are afraid of pro-pipeline protestors.
“We are worried about the safety of our people. Our people have been shot at before and they firebombed that bridge.”
Maybe...maybe not. I wouldn't bet the farm just yet.

The corporation will get eminent domain as that seems to be the trend.
Protesters will get arrested on their own land.
And no one will care (I do though as I've been through this with good friends of mine).
