Video from Kinder Morgans sustainable seafood dinner disrupted last night! Demonstrators stood silently inside the restaurant holding photos of the damage Kinder Morgan has done to communities along its pipelines, as well as those affected by tar sands development. Images included deformed fish from the indigenous community of Fort Chipewyan in Alberta where contamination from oil extraction has poisoned much of the food chain. Kinder Morgan employees were also shown photos of the typhoon-ravaged Philippines where climate change, largely the result of the fossil fuel industry, caused the death and displacement of thousands of people last year. “We want to connect the dots between pipelines in BC, the tar sands and the climate crisis that’s disproportionately affecting the people of the global south,” Campos said. “We want Kinder Morgan to face the reality that building this pipeline not only impacts the land and the people here, but also threatens the lives and livelihoods of people around the world.”
