\u0027Once again as evidenced by the scenes of violence, Indigenous people have been let down by the police, those who are sworn to protect them\u0027

“We must also recognize that once again as evidenced by the scenes of violence, Indigenous people have been let down by the police, those who are sworn to protect them,” Marc Miller said in a news conference Monday. “The protection of people on both sides has to prevail, and clearly that has not been the case up until now.”

Miller said the violence has to stop and the government stands with First Nations who have a right to fish. Officers from neighbouring Atlantic provinces would be moving into the province in what Blair described as a “peacekeeping operation.” “it is not always possible to prevent every act of criminality, but people will be held to account and we have now ensured that they have adequate resources to do all that is possible and necessary to maintain the peace.”

Fisheries Minister Bernadette Jordan said the issue has been ignored for far too long and the government is working hard to address the problem. RCMP officers monitor the entrance to Saulnierville Harbour while in the background another checkpoint is being maintained, as non-Indigenous commercial fishermen protest against a Mi’kmaq lobster fishery in Nova Scotia, October 19, 2020.Colin Sproul, president of the Bay of Fundy Inshore Fishermen’s Association, said he and his group condemn the violence. He said the federal government is responsible for this situation because it has failed to enforce fishery regulations.

Fire destroys Nova Scotian lobster pound amid damage and violence towards Indigenous fisheryThe non\u002DIndigenous protesters oppose the band\u0027s decision to start a commercial lobster fishing business that operates outside the federally regulated lobster… I’m thinking Proud Boys of the RCMP kept perpetrators save while they vandalized it. There’s another side to this story... Other nations should intervene and impose sanctions on Canada until First Nations rights and freedoms have been restored. (sarcasm)

Problem solved . No brainer ElizabethMay Oh. So Nova Scotia DOES have a Premier. Hmmm. Thought maybe you didn’t since we have seen and heard nothing from him during this entire unlawful fiasco.
