A coalition of Indigenous communities along British Columbia's coast is putting pressure on Prime Minister Mark Carney, urging him to block any new oil pipeline projects that would run through their traditional territories. They've made their stance public with an open letter, signaling a renewed battle over energy infrastructure and Indigenous rights in the region.

Editor’s Note: This isn't just about pipelines—it's a flashpoint in the larger struggle over who gets a say in major energy projects, especially when they cross Indigenous lands. With climate concerns and treaty rights at play, this could set the tone for how Canada balances economic interests with Indigenous sovereignty and environmental protection.
