Activists Arrested After Blockading Port of Vancouver in Pipeline Protest

HeadlineNov 06, 2019

Five climbers locked themselves to the dock where the shipment was to be offloaded. This is the latest action demanding that the Port of Vancouver and government officials halt the oil pipeline’s expansion, which would triple the system’s capacity.
