Proposed Oil Pipeline Affects Indigenous Canadian Community
Wednesday, April 06, 2005

The Mackenzie Valley Pipeline stands to be the largest single industrial 
development project in the history of Canada. Currently being pushed by 
the Canadian Government in cooperation with Imperial Oil, the Pipeline - 
if constructed - could access the largest untapped natural gas reserve on 
the planet. The Mackenzie Pipeline has sparked controversy in Canada, as 
its construction path is entirely on indigenous territory and is being met 
with fierce opposition from indigenous communities throughout Canada's 
northern region. FSRN's Stefan Christoff reports from Montreal.
