While the provincial [ https://news.gov.bc.ca/releases/2017ENV0001-000047 ] and federal [ http://news.gc.ca/web/article-en.do?mth ... tr.dyndVl= ] governments may have announced their support for Kinder Morgan's Trans Mountain pipeline, opponents are continuing to strengthen their fight against the project in court.

From whales to rights to conflicts of interest, the reasons for legal challenges are vast and don't appear to be slowing down. Just last week, Vancouver city councillor Adriane Carr put forward a motion [ http://council.vancouver.ca/20170207/do ... tionb1.pdf ] to request judicial review of the province's environmental approval of Trans Mountain.

"If there is real and genuine consultation with First Nations and real and genuine consultation with the public…I believe the outcome will be a no," said Carr, in a press conference outside Vancouver's city hall [ https://www.facebook.com/TWNSacredTrust ... =2&theater ]. "No environmental permit, no building of Kinder Morgan's pipeline and thus a better future for all of us."
