With mass demonstrations on hold, organizers rally online and protest by phone
OTTAWA — As construction ramps up on major pipeline projects in Canada and the U.S., activists are taking protests online and considering options for civil disobedience in an age of physical distancing.
In a statement to POLITICO, a Trans Mountain spokesperson said the corporation has not reduced its workforce due to Covid-19 and has not experienced delays. The pipeline expansion is expected to be in service by December 2022. A spokesperson for TC Energy, the company building the Coastal GasLink pipeline, said the summer construction program is being finalized and will include "a measured and gradual ramp up of work over the coming weeks and months.
In Blue River, B.C., 140 miles north of Kamloops, Manuel said the Tiny House Warriors are aiming to build another four tiny houses this spring and fall, in addition to the six they’ve already constructed in the path of the Trans Mountain pipeline. “It might go a little slower for these two builds, but we’re still going to make it happen,” she said.
McCartney said protesters are turning increasingly to online demonstrations. The committee has launched a monthly event that involves bombarding a target with phone calls about the pipeline — last time, it was Finance Minister Bill Morneau.
