Violence has erupted at a Coastal GasLink pipeline work site in Northern B.C., leaving workers shaken and millions of dollars in damage. Very early Thursday, just after midnight, Coastal GasLink security called RCMP for help, reporting it was under attack by about 20 people, some wielding axes.

RCMP Chief Supt. Warren Brown, commander for the north district, called the attack a “calculated and organized violent attack that left its victims shaken and a multi-million dollar path of destruction.”

Coastal GasLink said in a statement the attackers surrounded some of its workers in a “highly planned” and “unprovoked” assault near the Morice River drill pad site off the forest service road.

“In one of the most concerning acts, an attempt was made to set a vehicle on fire while workers were inside,” said the company in a statement. “The attackers also wielded axes, swinging them at vehicles and through a truck’s window. Flare guns were also fired at workers.”

At the drill pad site, about 12 kilometres further down the road, officers documented damage to heavy machinery, fencing and portables.

Coastal GasLink said the area was the site of a blockade last year that lasted 59 days.

The natural gas pipeline project has been the target of protests and opposition across Canada.

What do the attackers want?

What do the attackers want?

From historical attacks of these types "the oil to stay in the ground and the company to leave" but this is only speculation on my part based on the 20 attackers, no instigating factors or theft occurring, just destruction.

Time for a few PTSD cases in Kanukia

From all these goings on up there, sounds like the Canadians are finally growing some balls and standing up for themselves.

Something doesn't track with this story. Has to be more to it. 20 people, "some" wielding axes can't do that kind of damage, let alone topple tons of heavy construction equipment. Smells like a false flag.

Sigh, mass attacks are best repelled by massive firepower.....Get some.
LOL....Check-out at about 12 seconds when the mini-gun joins in the fun.

Does it make sense to me? LOL. That's an obscure question. I'm not sure the word "sense" should be included in any question regarding such a terror attack.

 

[flewism]

Bull shit, 20 people with nothing more than axes, causing that kind of damage, yeah right

Environmental extremists have a long history of "direct action" property damage attacks.

And to topple the equipment all they needed was someone who knew how to start and operate some of the other equipment.

To me the trailer complex looks like they took one of the excavators and ripped up the trailers.
