BURNABY (NEWS1130) – Demonstrators in Burnaby donned colourful wigs and red clown noses to protest a proposed pipeline that will transport gas from BC fracking operations to oil tankers in Kitimat.
Rally organizer Eric Doherty says about 100 people came out yesterday, to voice their opposition to the Pacific Trails pipeline and oil companies that use fracking to extract oil and natural gas.
Fracking uses drills to penetrate the earth, and pressurized fluids to flush out natural resources.
Doherty says protesters blocked the entrance to a Chevron refinery for three hours to demonstrate their opposition to the oil company’s involvement in fracking and the pipeline project.
