Wet’suwet’en pipeline concerns raised at Trudeau town hall in Kamloops

Aboriginal issues on the heels of protests in B.C. were the primary topic of conversation. The crowd got rowdy at times and did not pull any punches when posing their questions to the Prime Minister.  The PM was often interrupted while attempting to answer questions. Trudeau emphasized that there will be turbulence along the way to figuring out the best way to accommodate everyone when addressing concerns related to indigenous rights.

Premier Horgan says he recognizes the right for individuals to protest, but at a press conference yesterday, he went on to defend the pipeline and the controversial LNG project. He told reporters he hopes a peaceful resolution can be reached.
