The majority of Wet’suwet’en First Nation members support the Coastal GasLink natural gas pipeline project, and they are in an objectively peculiar situation. On the one hand, the RCMP is doing its best to clear away the protesters and let construction proceed.
Theresa Tait-Day is in an especially peculiar situation. She holds a hereditary title under the Laksilyu clan of the Wet’suwet’en — or at least, she did. Nowadays it depends who you talk to.
Just as the RCMP have court authorization to clear protesters and encampments along the pipeline route, the Ontario Provincial Police have court authorization to clear the Mohawk rail blockade near Belleville, Ont. Unlike the RCMP, the OPP refuses to exercise its authority. And we just have to live with that.
And then, bewilderingly, he averred that “the injunctions have to be respected because we are a country of the rule of law.”
Should Justin recall the constitutional conference (s35 1982) where his dad failed 2 reach an agreement on the meaning of Aboriginal & Treaty Rights? Should Justin gather all the historic treaty parties w the primary goal of renouncing COLONIAL UNILATERALISM once & for all?🤔
They will not 'lose interest and leave'. They realize that, because officials are now afraid to do anything, they have a very effective protest weapon, which they will use time and time again for whatever perceived reason and perceived injustice.
I hope this doesn't affect the free camping ?
I bet the negative rhetoric flowed when women protested their right to vote. Protesting is how change is enabled. This effed up twinning of the pipeline will create a few jobs and the BC Coast will forever be at risk. It's a damnable shame what ppl are willing to sacrifice for $$
Weird. They claim sovereignty but they can’t keep a rag tag group of RCMP officers off of their alleged land. Not something I would expect from a sovereign nation.
Everyone should get out and protest the corruption of people in government imo
Invite the media (tell the truth) Canadians and JustinTrudeau to do what I did yesterday. Go to Tyendinaga On The rail is not moving. It is ILLEGAL business as usual on First Nations Land. The only people being inconvenienced are Canadians. The Conclusion. LOCK THEM UP!
Utterly unacceptable. Resign - JustinTrudeau MarcGarneau cdnpoli
It's time for the Non-Confidence vote.
I pay my taxes and abide the law, and can’t even use the public railway system to get to Ottawa due to terrorists blocking it and my government who is always happy to pinch more out of my paycheque does nothing with it’s head in the sand, disgrace.....
Emilyfo04914299 Protesters who prevent people from getting to their places of work or study are social terrorists. Our big expensive govt needs to deal with them appropriately;
We have been writing about the incompetence of this Liberal cabal of a Party for 4 1/2 yrs and they are still there.Corruption runs in the liberal Party but we must have enough leadership outside this gang of ministers that can bring them down.
brianlilley All this thanks to the puerile policies and whims of Justin Trudeau.
Getting to be time to Cowboy up.
All while companies close over retail competition vs internet buying, electronic economy and energy wars. Let’s raise taxes!
TrudeauMustGo
Perhaps in the best interest of everybody, the rest of the population should blockade everything else and just help push this land mass known as Canada over the edge and start over. Time to shut er down. AB and SK will then become Rebpublics and maybe join the States.
only because a cuck still around
Incompetent liberals government
Meanwhile, back at the ranch...
TrudeauMustGo
Really just think that they want to be heard. Dialogue and respect is the way to end this.
We are very close
Where is Bruce Cockburn?
Or civil disobedience
This is problematic and untrue: “Illegally causing economic harm.” Have you read section 2 of the Canadian Charter? Perhaps a review.
It makes sense for prairie provinces to join the US to secure trade routes. Canada can't be trusted anymore.
Indigenous protesters = criminal disrupters White Alberta pro pipeline protesters = patriots Am I getting this right NP?

First fuel Then food It will be interesting to see how long the politicians can keep mouthing platitudes before people start taking matters into their own hands If the politicians and law enforcement won't do their jobs its gong to happen sooner or later
Protesters can't take our economy hostage. Blocking the railways has a serious repercussion on our economy and our country. An agreement is needed to clear the tracks otherwise, the government will have to force a solution.
