U.S. President Barack Obama recently decided to delay the Keystone XL pipeline and in response, the Canadian government is ramping up efforts to capitalize on the lucrative gas and oil market in Asia.

The alternative is the Enbridge Northern Gateway project.

There are over 50 First Nation communities, environmentalists and many individuals who oppose the pipelines, including award-winning actress Tantoo Cardinal.

Cardinal was recently arrested in Washington D.C. outside of the White House for protesting the Keystone XL pipeline.

Cardinal was in APTN National News‘ Vancouver studio.
