raise my hands to my elders, brothers, sisters and ancestors. I am however here alone at my first protest. I want to invite any Indigenous people to join  ‪#‎Decolonization‬ ‪#‎KMface‬ https://www.facebook.com/Valeenlovesyou

Kinder Morgan has been on my mind a lot lately and, when I woke up at four o'clock Friday
morning, it was there, waiting: an 800-pound gorilla with greasy hair that lumbered across the border from Texas and is squatting now on Burnaby Mountain -- close enough to crowd me out of bed. Gorillas are lousy sleeping companions at the best of times, and this one doesn't sleep. Who has time when one's stated goal is to ''continually leverage our large footprint of assets and actively pursue expansions, joint ventures and acquisitions so that we can further increase . . . distributions and . . . dividends..... http://thetyee.ca/Opinion/2014/11/22/On_Burnaby_Mountain_Confronting_The_Gorilla/

Protests continue as survey work begins on Burnaby Mountain

BURNABY, B.C. - First Nations vowed to stand in unity with protesters as police kept up arrests Friday in a Metro Vancouver conservation area where crews resumed survey work for the proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
Shortly after activists announced they would do whatever it takes to stymie the project, a group began marching up Burnaby Mountain in the pouring rain.
More arrests quickly followed.
