Pipeline protesters occupy attorney general's Vancouver office

David Eby's office occupied

A group of pipeline protesters have occupied attorney general David Eby’s Vancouver office. 

Marching from the Kitsilano Community Centre, the group arrived at Eby’s office on West Broadway just before 9:30 a.m., reports CTV News. 

"The Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs are practicing Anuk Nu'at'en (Wet'suwet'en law) in opposition to the colonial Canadian legal system," said Herb Varley, one of the organizers of Vancouver solidarity actions, in a news release. 

"We are disrupting business as usual in David Eby's office to highlight his hand in the ongoing genocide of Indigenous peoples required by the Canadian colonial project."

The protesters say they are staying put until the province revokes all permits associated with the LNG Canada and Coastal Gaslink project. They also want Eby to intervene in the injunction and enforcement order against the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs.
