In Vancouver, Canada, an activist has entered her third week on a hunger strike to protest the construction of an $8.8 billion hydroelectric dam project in northern British Columbia—the largest public infrastructure project in the province’s history. The Canadian company BC Hydro is behind the project. Speaking outside BC Hydro’s offices, hunger striker Kristin Henry called on Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to halt the project.

Kristin Henry: “I would also like to see Trudeau step up to his promises to reassess and redevelop relations with the indigenous communities here. You know, he’s allowing the permits to go through right now. This is a federal river, and he’s granting permits. And he made a lot of promises to get into office, a lot of them based on relations with indigenous communities, and he’s not owning up to them. And this is a perfect example of it, where he is letting industry blow through indigenous rights. You know, he’s in no way owning up to what he promised us.”
