Grand Chief Phillip now supports the Northern Gateway pipeline, reversing his stance due to U.S. tariff threats.

Grand Chief Stewart Phillip, a leader of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, has changed his stance to support the Northern Gateway pipeline project, previously halted due to environmental concerns. This shift comes amid threats from the US under President Trump, who has proposed tariffs on Canadian exports. Alberta Premier Danielle Smith also advocates for the pipeline to diversify Canada's export markets, though it faces potential resistance from environmental groups and other First Nations communities.
