ENVIRONMENTALISTS RED-WASHING PIPELINE FIGHT

   Cancellation of the Trans Mountain pipeline would cost B.C. First Nations hundreds of millions of dollars in benefits, job training, and employment and business opportunities, according to Cheam Chief Ernie Crey.
   Crey has emerged as a leading voice for the First Nations that stand to benefit from the project, calling out environmentalists for “red-washing” their fight against the $7.4 billion expansion of the pipeline between Edmonton and Burnaby.
  “We have a vigorous environmental movement in B.C. and they have learned that they can use aboriginal communities to advance their agenda,” he said.
