Canada's resource industries are under attack by thousands of activists
with millions of dollars in foreign funding, and LNG projects in the north are
the latest target.
Vivian Krause, an independent researcher and writer, has tracked this phenomenon for more than a decade across multiple industries in Canada.

She is in BC's north this week to
present information showing how Liquified Natural Gas (LNG) projects are the
latest to be targeted by professional, foreign-funded activists, and to
encourage northern BC communities to use this information to look out for their
own best interests.
She is being hosted by The North Matters, a grassroots citizen association.
"Northern citizens are concerned with extreme foreign influence that affects our communities’ ability to review and decide on development opportunities," says a statement from the group.

"Ms. Krause is an
independent investigative researcher tracing the influence of foreign funding
to anti-resource activism in Canada. Her undeniable findings have cast a light
on the depth and reach of foreign influence on public perceptions, public
policy and international attitudes toward Canadian natural resource
developments."
“Pipeline protests don't help the climate but they do keep Canada over a barrel. People need to know who funds anti-pipeline activism, and who benefits”. (Vivian Krause @FairQuestions)
