Violence has erupted at a Coastal GasLink pipeline work site in Northern B.C., leaving workers shaken and millions of dollars in damage.

Very early Thursday, just after midnight, Coastal GasLink security called RCMP for help, reporting it was under attack by about 20 people, some wielding axes.

RCMP Chief Supt. Warren Brown, commander for the north district, called the attack a “calculated and organized violent attack that left its victims shaken and a multi-million dollar path of destruction.”

    yea, also true. Especially with that precedent of them outright exploding a shed, they're obviously going hard up north - I'm just speculating and don't want to make it seem like I'm doing anything more.
    Also, even if it was an actual sabotage/attack - it's still a good idea to claim it was a false flag if only to muddy the waters, make it harder for cops and play PR games

      Yes absolutely. It could be a false flag or not and distinguishing them is something that I personally find really hard to do most of the time. No worries I totally got that you were speculating.
