Social Justice Week--Canada’s Pipeline: The Silent War of a Petrol-Police State
Tuesday, October 26 2021
Why does Canada own the Transmountain pipeline and where are the pressure points of divestment?
This podcast episode examines the economic risks posed by the Trans Mountain Expansion Project — the pipeline that crosses 518 km of Secwepemc territory in the south-central interior of British Columbia (BC). The featured guests are experts in the fields of law, economics, and Indigenous governance who analyze the economics behind the pipeline. Without the consent of Indigenous people, what are the calculations being made to uphold colonialism in Canada and to sublease Indigenous lands? This podcast builds on themes and analysis in the Yellowhead Institute Red Paper, Cash Back. Picking up from Land Back, the first Red Paper by Yellowhead about the project of land reclamation, Cash Back looks at how the dispossession of Indigenous lands nearly destroyed Indigenous economic livelihoods. Cash Back is about restitution from the perspective of stolen wealth.
