The Haisla Nation and Coastal First Nations oppose a proposed oil pipeline to British Columbia's northwest coast, emphasizing environmental risks to their waters and livelihoods. Chief Councillor Nyce stated that an oil spill would be catastrophic for the Haisla, contrasting their support for Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) projects like Cedar LNG.

Despite Premier Smith's MOU with Alberta's government to facilitate pipeline conditions, it did not include Indigenous consent, which the Haisla reject. The Haisla's opposition is rooted in a history of environmental protection and community livelihood, demonstrating a firm stance against oil transportation in their territory.
