actually that's all true stuff, there were about 600 something meetings about routing this pipeline and about 50 or 60 that the tribe leaders were invited to attend. it seems like you don't really have any kind of basic understanding of how international zoning is done for these kinds of things.. can you even tell me what authority would be in charge of this stuff? pre-emptive KEK while you google it but i know you don't know this.
the tribe leaders are just as much to blame as our government's response for putting their own people at risk to make a political point.
i think obama handled it like total shit and trump's not really handling it any better but acting like the tribe leaders aren't victimizing their own people by artificially inflating a scenario that could have been avoided by "attend 1 of 60 meetings or maybe send a letter back" serves no one's good except jerk off feel good points for your dumb counter signal-based idealism.
from an environmental perspective it's a no brainer. pipeline is clearly safer than transporting this shit on oil tankers and trucks but hey, out of sight out of mind you feel. also the pipeline plays a major role in a canadian tar cleanup. but the obama admin's silence combined with local gov't and law enforcement's response was pathetic.
