“…collapse of the northern abalone fishery [Lee et al., 2019], and the decline of herring fishery [Salomon et al., 2019]), or dismissed the risk of such impacts (e.g. approval of Enbridge Northern Gateway project; Gunton & Broadbent, 2012; Hotte & Sumaila, 2014). We suggest that, by recognizing, learning from, and ultimately supporting pre‐existing relational processes of Indigenous monitoring and management, Canadian institutions stand to make true on their responsibilities of reconciliation and sustainability.…”

“…Childs (2016,544) recommends paying greater attention to the cross-scale power dynamics involved in struggles over resource ownership and governance in specific spatial contexts to help improve our understanding of equity concerning such issues. Himley (2008, 445-47) Several academics have also explored technical, political, and community risk perceptions related to the Northern Gateway pipeline at local, regional, and provincial levels (Service et al 2012;Wilson and Summerville 2014;Hotte and Sumaila 2014;Bowles and Wilson 2016;Bowles and Veltmeyer 2014). Axsen (2014) studied provincial variability in public acceptance of fossil-fuel infrastructure, using value-theory and focusing his statistically-oriented analysis on the Northern Gateway.…”

This qualitative inquiry focuses on Canada's environmental assessment (EA) of the controversial-now defunct-Enbridge Northern Gateway Pipeline as a case study. Adapting Fairclough's (1992) approach to critical discourse analysis (CDA) as a methodological framework, I investigated how Northern Gateway's environmental effects were discursively framed and rationalized in relation to climate change, and how these discourses are connected to statutory interpretations and institutional norms. Using frame analysis and argumentation analysis as methods, I examined a corpus of publicly available Joint Review Panel (JRP) documents, federal statutes and official decision statements related to Northern Gateway's EA.Findings suggest that the convergence of particular discourses, ideologies, institutional power relations, and entrenched discretionary practices tended to marginalize and depoliticize climate change considerations in Northern Gateway's EA. These dynamics provided a foundation to rhetorically legitimate contentious project-related governance decisions, and arguably expose areas of potential concern in the contemporary EA and climate change context.
