   British Columbians don't want the Kinder-Morgan pipelines coming anywhere near   
   Vancouver's harbour with their fracked LNG.  Nor do the natives of northern BC.   
   And there may be one sure way to block the northern route . . .  and it might   
   take a while to resolve . . . . .  ^ω^

   First Nation to claim land title to block Pacific NorthWest LNG terminal   
      
   LELU ISLAND, B.C. - A northern British Columbia First Nation says it is   
   seeking aboriginal title to the land where a Malaysia-led consortium hopes to   
   build a $36-billion liquefied natural gas terminal.   
      
   The Lax Kw'alaams First Nation says it will launch an action claiming title to   
   Lelu Island and Flora Bank, where the Pacific NorthWest LNG project would be   
   built.   
      
   The nation says if it successfully establishes title, the province would have   
   to seek its consent for massive projects like the one spearheaded by   
   Malaysia's state-owned Petronas.   
      
   Mayor Garry Reece says the Lax Kw'alaams are open to development including the   
   Pacific NorthWest project, but only if an alternate site is found to avoid   
   Flora Bank.   
      
   The nation says the area is a critical fisheries habitat located in the   
   estuary of the Skeena River and it is concerned that construction would   
   irreparably harm salmon stocks.   
      
   Earlier this spring, Lax Kw'alaams members overwhelmingly rejected a   
   $1.15-billion package from the company and province.
