Some pipeline protesters camped out on a frosty Burnaby Mountain Friday were moved to tears, while others vowed to stay and risk arrest after Kinder Morgan won an injunction to remove their encampment.
The energy giant sought the injunction after protesters staged an aroundthe-clock blockade in September to stop Kinder Margin from doing survey work for its proposed $5.8-billion oil pipeline that would run through the Burnaby Mountain Conservation Area.
Protest organizer Stephen Collis announced the court decision Friday morning to more than two dozen demonstrators, some of whom have been camping out at the barricade for weeks – including some nights in freezing temperatures.
