Elizabeth May has made a couple of brilliant videos about the dangers of shipping in the Hecate Strait. It’s not rocket science.

• Most major Canadian ports are managed by Canada Port Authorities (CPAs). • These CPAs are federally incorporated, autonomous corporations, under the Canada Marine Act. • The Minister of Transport (federal) has regulatory oversight: the minister issues the “Letters Patent” that define a port authority’s powers, lands, and governance. • Each port authority has its own board of directors, made up of people appointed by various stakeholders (federal, provincial, municipal governments, and port users). • Transport Canada enforces the Canada Marine Act. So, in summary: Transport Canada (through the Minister of Transport) is the federal regulator, and individual Canada Port Authorities run the day-to-day operations of most major ports.

And access doesn't mean a pipeline. Trucks and trains are also accessibility.

I thank you for responding. You’re very knowledgable as always and I appreciate it. I don’t agree with what they’re doing and leaving out the native people. It’s just to me how it’s a shame after trying to bypass the natives in these situation.

But he word on that is federal regulations they should have to follow indigenous rules I agree, but the way it’s written it means the government can override it at any time

Short answer: No — nothing in Canada can “override” or “stop” maritime law except the federal government, because maritime law is 100% federal jurisdiction under the Constitution. Here’s how it works: ⸻ 🇨🇦 1. Maritime law is exclusively federal Under Section 91(10) of the Constitution Act, 1867, the federal government has exclusive authority over: • Navigation • Shipping • Maritime law • Admiralty courts This means provinces, cities, police forces, or port authorities cannot override, cancel, or replace maritime law. Only the federal government can change or suspend maritime laws, regulations, or enforcement. ⸻ ⚓ 2. Courts that handle maritime issues are federal Even though Canadian courts are provincial in structure, maritime cases fall under federal jurisdiction. Provincial courts must apply federal maritime law; they cannot create their own. ⸻ 🛳️3. Provinces and cities have zero authority over navigation Provinces cannot regulate: • What ships enter ports • Shipping lanes • Navigation rules • Port access • Marine safety • Maritime labour standards • Vessel licensing • International shipping All of that belongs to Transport Canada and the federal Parliament. ⸻ 🌊 4. Port authorities also cannot override maritime law Port authorities (like the Vancouver Fraser Port Authority) operate as federal bodies under the Canada Marine Act. They can make local port rules, but they must follow federal maritime laws. They cannot: • Stop maritime law • Override federal rules • Reject federally licensed vessels • Create provincial-style laws ⸻ ❗ 5. The only exceptions are very limited Only two things can modify how maritime law is applied, but not stop it: (A) Indigenous Rights (Section 35) Indigenous harvesting rights and navigation rights can intersect with maritime regulations, but they do not “stop” maritime law — courts require the federal government to balance both. (B) International Treaties Canada follows international maritime treaties, but these are implemented through the federal government, not independently. ⸻ ✅ Bottom line The federal government is the only authority in Canada that can regulate, change, suspend, or

Shattered glass🇨🇦 :
I appreciate and want indigenous Canadianscto rise up and fight against this ridiculous notion that a pipeline through Alberta and B.C. is feasible. I live on the island. And I’m tired of landlubbers with no clue about the coast,tidal waters,marine life, indigenous ways, livelihoods, and sacred places thinking it’s no big deal. I’m actually internally very angry about the ignorance, and entitlement coming from Albertans and northern BC oil and gas people.

Canada's 200 mile limit, now known as the Exclusive Economic zone, which extends 200 nautical miles from its coast to manage & control all marine resources within in. Implemented to conserve fish stocks. Last I checked, crude wasn't a fish.

I thought the pipe line brainwave was to send it east to Hudson Bay. I need to do some research of my own, because the last time she was talking about it, and so was PP, I remember because they didn't have any proponents. They are both pipes of dreams. no money on it yet.

Smirky Scheer blew my mind when he said Canadian oil tankers should use Inside Passage* just like American tankers do. He's so full of 💩! Elizabeth May made a great post abt why this is a big no no. Hecate Strait* Ripple Rock* The Inside Passage is basically full of islands & underwater mountains making it extremely dangerous to navigate safely!!
