So my uncle has been involved in these protests for years as he is a member of the Lakota tribe in ND. Considering the impacts this would have regarding encroaching on their land, I'm really surprised that you're surprised by Biden repealing this, especially since the Obama administration voted against it previously.

Aside from that, it's a pipeline to replace an existing pipeline, because it's slightly faster. Really? And for all you people who don't want to give foreign aid, why do you all of the sudden care about Canada's economy? But you're perfectly fine with once again taking land from indigenous people?

In case you didn't know, oil really is bad, and moving away from it is the best thing we could possibly do.

Unsurprisingly, not one post of substance from Shaps over here on the topic. Dude just spews diarrhea from his keyboard all day long. Why? Why do you support this pipeline, and why are you okay with just taking Native American's land still?


As claimed in recent lawsuits from some Native American organizations:
Although, the pipeline’s proposed path crosses the plaintiff tribes’ homelands, the tribes have not been consulted as required by law and DOI policy.

In granting the right-of-way, the BLM failed to analyze and uphold the United States’ treaty obligations to protect the Tribes lands and natural resources. The government failed to even evaluate an alternate route to avoids tribal treaty lands.

The government’s analysis does not meaningfully address how an influx of out-of-state construction workers will affect the health, welfare, and safety of tribal members, and in particular Native women and children.

The agencies have not considered the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on either health and safety or the global oil markets.

The 2019 supplemental environmental impact statement has numerous issues and shortcomings. Even its maps do not give enough detail to show impacts on Indian lands.

In their permit application, TransCanada agreed to abide by tribal laws and regulation, which they have failed to do.
