Canada's Standing Rock (641)

We spend the first segment looking at the Wet’suwet’en land defenders’ struggle against the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline which, if built, will dissect large areas of unceded Indigenous territory in British Columbia. We then speak with Tom Ranson on his Northern Lights documentary, and end with an interview with Tara Seucharan of the Council of Canadians regarding environmental justice movements worldwide and here in Canada.
