On November 27th, at 2PM, at the corner of Dorchester/Greene (Atwater metro), the Convergence des luttes anticapitalistes (CLAC) is calling for a demonstration in solidarity with the Wet'suwet'en people of British Columbia, who are fighting the canadian colonial state.

For years, the Wet'suwet'en people have been fighting the construction of a natural gas pipeline by Coastal Gas Link (CGL), a company owned by TransCanada Energy, known around here for its attempt to build the Energy East pipeline in the so-called Saguenay.

CGL is attempting to build a pipeline to transport shale gas from Alberta, which is obtained through hydraulic fracturing. This pipeline will cross the Yintah, the ancestral territory of the Wet'suwet'en people, a territory that was never ceded to the canadian colonial state. Despite an outright refusal by all Wet'suwet'en hereditary leaders, the RCMP moved into the territory in January 2019 to conduct raids that led to numerous violent arrests of land defenders to force the construction of the pipeline.
