In the new world order inaugurated in Washington this week, the unthinkable is suddenly plausible.
Following Donald Trump’s inauguration, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, president of the Union of B.C. Indian Chiefs, came out in support of building oil pipelines to the Pacific Coast.
That is an almost unbelievable coming from someone who was among the most prominent opponents of the proposed Northern Gateway pipeline that would have exported diluted bitumen from the oil sands in Alberta to a marine terminal in Kitimat, B.C., for transportation to Asian markets via oil tankers. The Enbridge project was killed by the Trudeau government in 2016 .
