The B.C. Energy Regulator is investigating after Coastal GasLink reported two spills of clay lubricant while it was tunnelling under the Morice River to build a natural gas pipeline through northern British Columbia.
“You’re fucking kidding me,” [Shannon McPhail] blurted out on a phone call with The Narwhal. “They [Fisheries and Oceans Canada] were gaslighting me. This just blows my mind. I have been pushing so hard for so long trying to find out this information, which I felt was a reasonable request based on reasonable concerns. And they purposely withheld that information.”
