FONDA, CHIEFS SAY TRUDEAU BETRAYED HOPES FOR CLIMATE ACTION: Hollywood icon Jane Fonda is joining with Canadian aboriginal leaders to say Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent approval of two oilsands pipelines is a betrayal of his promises to move on climate change. Fonda told a news conference in Edmonton that the message of Trudeau’s first year is that you shouldn’t be fooled by good-looking Liberals. Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs says the approval of Kinder Morgan’s Trans Mountain pipeline expansion and Enbridge’s Line 3 left him bitterly disappointed. Fonda toured the oilsands in northern Alberta on Tuesday to support indigenous leaders in their opposition to pipelines.
