   Big time.  Looks like the natives were welcoming of Trudeau's land gifts and   
   reconciliation payouts . . .  but they're not afraid to sue his government for   
   failing to live up to climate change promises.  This could be an echo to a   
   similar lawsuit by    
   students in Quebec.  And it's wide enough in scope to stop the Trans Mountain   
   oil pipeline if they should win.   
      
   Here's hoping it's not just another ploy to extort more money from   
   government/taxpayers in return for allowing the pipeline through their lands.

   'Walk the walk': Wet'suwet'en chiefs sue Ottawa to force Crown to act on   
   climate change   
      
   With conflict erupting over a natural gas pipeline in northwestern British   
   Columbia, two Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs are suing Ottawa in a bid to   
   force the federal government to take action on climate change.   
      
   If the claim filed in federal court this week by leaders of the Likhts'amisyu   
   Clan succeeds, Ottawa would be forced to revisit the approval of projects like   
   the $6-billion, 670-kilometre Coastal GasLink pipeline, if they kept Canada   
   from meeting    
   international commitments to lower greenhouse gas levels   
      
   "What the Likhts'amisyu are saying to the federal government is that you've   
   talked the talk, now it's time to walk the walk," said Richard Overstall, the   
   lawyer for the chiefs.       [- - -]
