Green Party leader Elizabeth May is facing some legal trouble after allegedly violating a court injunction in British Columbia.
She was arrested Friday while protesting Kinder Morgan’s proposed Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
May says in a statement she will continue to stand in solidarity with the First Nations “whose land these acts of vandalism are now being committed.”

She goes on to say that “non-violent civil disobedience is not the easy choice — but it’s the right one.”
The proposed $7.4-billion expansion project has already been approved by the federal government and the National Energy Board.
