A Tyee exclusive: Coastal GasLink intel was shared with the Indigenous Relations Ministry during high-stakes talks.
B.C. says it violated its own privacy laws when it gathered personal information from Coastal GasLink about “various individuals” involved in a high-profile conflict over the controversial pipeline project.
The province did not say how Coastal GasLink obtained the personal information, nor did it provide details about who was affected, instead arguing in documents filed with B.C.’s information and privacy watchdog, the Office of the Information and Privacy Commissioner, that releasing further information could exacerbate the breach and harm its relationship with the Wet’suwet’en Nation’s hereditary leadership.
No fascism here, nope.
