This chapter taks Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s re-approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion in 2019 as a starting point to understand the productive tensions between hegemonic, counter-hegemonic, and grassroots political formations. On the same day Trudeau re-approved the pipeline, a stunning display of counter-hegemonic solidarity occurred, as representatives from the Tsliel-Waututh, Squamish, and Musqueam nations, alongside elected officials from the City of Vancouver and the Grand Chief of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs, redoubled their commitment to protecting their shared coastal ecosystem. Days later there was yet another display of resistance to Trudeau’s policies: this time in the form of a 20 km march, at the head of which was a Tiny House. Destined for Secwepemcul’ecw, in the interior of British Columbia, this Tiny House was pulled by a coalition of grassroots Indigenous leaders and settlers. Placing these tactics into relief alongside one another reveals the remarkable diversity of anti-imperialist struggles at work today and shows the possibilities of collective liberation that emerge through committed internationalism grounded in local struggle.
