ANTI-PIPELINERS PROTEST RESTRICTED AT BC TERMINALS

   VANCOUVER — A British Columbia Supreme Court judge has granted Trans Mountain an interim injunction aimed at preventing anti-pipeline activists from protesting construction at two terminals in Burnaby.
   Kyle Friesen, a lawyer representing the RCMP, said the force doesn't want to squelch anyone's right to protest, but a restricted area is needed to create a barrier so gatherings are peaceful, lawful and safe, especially if trees are falling to clear land for construction.
   Calgary-based Trans Mountain said in the notice of claim that protesters have obstructed roads it requires to access the Westridge Marine Terminal in order to build a new dock complex with three berths.
