A little north of the city lie a large number of Canadian First Nations. They’d be the first to oppose such a project.

Oh, there’s far, far more opposition than just them:

The government may rubber stamp resource projects, but it can’t steamroll First Nations rights, the B.C. government, and an entire province that has said all along that no means no. Expect this project to be tied up in the courts for years and face opposition throughout the province and across Canada. Environmental Defence will support First Nations and British Columbians as long as it takes to finally put an end to this pipeline in the courts and on the ground.
