"an investigation by Discourse Media, which sent two reporters to Lax Kw’alaams, suggests that no vote in favour of the project ever occurred."
This is the worst find of divisive, manipulative DECEPTION and the Clark government should be ashamed!

Statement of Concern
Based on evidence raised across our many disciplines, the undersigned scholars have concluded that there were significant gaps and inadequacies in the regulatory review and environmental assessment process for the Site C Project, a hydroelectric dam on the Peace River currently in the preliminary stages of construction. Our assessment is that this process did not accord with the commitments of both the provincial and federal governments to reconciliation with and legal obligations to First Nations, protection of the environment, and evidence-based decision-making with scientific integrity.

BC Hydro dropped off an impressive stack of paper yesterday claiming they are making an application for an injunction in B.C. Supreme Court to keep people who are protesting the Site C dam project from camping overnight at its Vancouver office at 333 Dunsmuir. So it is not an actual injunction even--just the threat of one.
The camp has been operating 24 hours a day at the Dunsmuir Street building since it began on March 13,
Hydro claims the camp 1) poses "health and safety risks" 2) "impedes emergency evacuation routes," and 3) camp members "are intimidating employees and passers by."
All of these claims are false. A fire marshall has inspected the site and cleared it. BC Hydro itself has blocked exits and removed door handles. The camp members are all polite and helpful to all passers by.
So this is (another--similar to the Rocky Mtn Fort injunction) bullying measure trying to stifle the right to peceful protest and the truths about the Site C project that the camp are expressing.
