Indigenous leaders, including Sipekne’katik First Nation Chief Mike Sack, have criticized the way RCMP officers have responded to the attacks against the Mi’kmaq. On Wednesday, Ms. Lucki made no mention of the criticism facing her force. She said the RCMP is deeply concerned by the acts of violence and property damage linked to the fisheries dispute.“But when we are there, and when are made aware of those actions, we will step, we will intervene, we will investigate and we will hold those to account who continue to pursue criminal activity.
“It’s to help defuse the situation. There have been people speeding through the wharf, spinning up rocks at us,” Chief Sack said. “We just want that injunction to make sure people are safe around the wharf.”The Sipekne’katik chief also said his band is pulling three commercially-licensed vessels from the local lobster fishery because of boycotts by seafood buyers who are refusing to purchase Mi’kmaq-caught lobster.
During the rail blockade the aboriginals didn’t want the RCMP anywhere around, now they can’t get the RCMP there fast enough.
What?
They should think about changing their motto...”To serve and protect (ourselves)” might be more appropriate...
Good for you! It’s the natives to blame. They call for the police to help except when it’s them protesting caledonia or our nations railway in Belleville. nobodyabovethelaw
Time for Lucki to resign ... she must be waiting for the pension guarantee and she’ll run. We should disband the RCMP and develop provincial police ala Ontario
DOWN WITH THE RCMP. They ignored my kids plea for protection from their abusive mother.
They were WASP troublemakers KKK The Orange Order slavery banded together charged with authority by Federal government to remove the “Indian” off the land for Farmers mostly Ukrainian/Eastern European ethnic descent who were eventually assimilated by WASP white supremacy
Supporting your staff sounds reasonable but is she correct? Did they respond properly based on their mandate to protect and ensure laws are followed.
She should be fired
Wouldn’t want her job for a million bucks! No matter what she does it will be wrong
Did she get Billy Bob Blair's permission to speak?
The RCMP is jammed up in political correctness
Wow, that si not what her masters in the liberal party are saying. She should do the honorable thing and resign.
globepolitics Good ..she should have been out in front of this better though..this falls at feet of the Federal Cabinet andDFO who let this fester ..now Miller , Blair , blame RCMP ..even Quasi liberal Singh gets his shots in from his home in BC ...
brish_ti This is also the same person who admitted to systemic racism in the RCMP.
RCMPNS and the Commissioner close ranks reflexively. This doesn't serve the cause of justice well. MikmaqRights
globepolitics Why are these guys being picked on, and why isn't the RCMP doing more to discourage this behaviour? The way things are going it will only get worse.
What response? They stood there with their thumbs up their A and let the place burn.
