In a surprising reversal, Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, long-standing leader of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, has reversed his stance on the Northern Gateway pipeline project. This reversal marks a significant departure from his previous opposition to the pipeline, which aims to transport Alberta’s oil to the Pacific Ocean.

Speaking at a news conference on Tuesday, Phillip acknowledged his past resistance to the project, emphasizing the changing dynamics that now necessitate a reconsideration.

“I really fought against Northern Gateway’s construction before it was scuttled in 2016,” Phillip stated. “That was a different time, and Canada now has no choice but to reconsider.”
