The Burrard inlet has been very important and vital for the Tseil Watututh people since antiquity. If the majority of the Tseil Watututh don't want these tankers there,  the companies who run this business should respect that. It's not their inlet, it traditionally belongs to the Theil Watutuh, these tanker people are unwanted guests.
