Victoria Council Rejects Pipeline Push | Vancouver News

Victoria’s city council is rallying against a controversial Alberta-to-B.C. oil pipeline, rejecting the federal government’s push to fast-track it as a national interest project. Council members argue the pipeline ignores climate urgency and risks coastal ecosystems, while two dissenting voices criticized the timing and called the motion hypocritical given the city’s own fossil fuel dependence. The mayor urged restraint, calling for focus on local issues, but the final resolution still formally opposes the pipeline as a climate failure with potential for future disasters. Public input on the federal designation closes September 18. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
