Michael Byers, the Canada Research Chair in Global Politics and International Law at UBC, spoke to CBC about objections to the proposed Kinder Morgan pipeline.
B.C. politicians recognize people in the province view the costs and benefits of the pipeline differently from Canadians in other parts the country. A B.C. Liberal MP urged Justin Trudeau’s government to reject the proposal.
“It’s entirely understandable why a member of parliament from the West Coast would object to this proposal,” Byers said. “A Liberal MP who is doing so is defying the momentum within his own caucus and that is to be celebrated.”
