if it weren't a public service i think i'd be a lot more accepting of it. but it is and this isn't the 90s so we can legitimately expect public facing government infrastructure to be accessible for all twelve months of the year

If only the rules of law said you can't build pipelines on someone's property without their permission!

That's funny because if the US was trying to build an unpopular pipeline across Canada I would expect Canadians to angrily note that we should have a veto over US actions within our sovereign territory, and that if they told us "actually you have a voice but not a veto and there are ten times as many of us so we democratically decided that this pipeline will be built, majority rules" we would probably be pretty upset! Periodic reminder that the Wet'suwet'en have never signed a treaty ceding their land to Canada or British Columbia, so by rights they are a sovereign nation that should have the freedom to control and, yes, veto anything happening on their land should they so choose.

Justin would not enjoy the optics of triggering another Oka Crisis a tenth of the way through his minority term, even if it were legal for him to do so snubbing Scheer was a funny flex, though. when is he going to finish being fired?

I think it's just a matter of time before the police rolls in and arrests all the protestors blocking the tracks. Public opinion is starting to sour (people don't like being inconvenienced and the media is pushing the Economic Crisis talking point hard). Politicians are referring to the protests as illegal over and over (as though building a pipeline through sovereign territory isn't a worse crime). It's sickening really and Canada really is a colonial state.

Another truck drives through a protest. https://globalnews.ca/news/6564165/wetsuweten-supporters-manitoba-blockage-truck/ Morris is the very racist town that harassed a gay couple that ran a bakery into leaving. A Jamaican lady opened up a restaurant in the same property after they left, and then she got chased out of town too for being black. Rural Manitoba south of Winnipeg is absolutely horrible.

COMPAGNIE TOMMY posted:Hey protesters, whatever you do, don't create some kind of Schwellenpflug! Don't even Google it! And DEFINITELY don't BUILD ONE AND ACTUALLY USE IT! THAT WOULD BREAK MY loving HEART! I was wondering why none of these people were heading out to the middle of nowhere to destroy some sections of track. There's no way in the world that they could secure the entire line, it seems like it'd be pretty trivial. Afterwards you just send a note to the media without disclosing the exact location and let em try to figure out where you were at. Then do it again in a different place. It would hardly even cost anything at all. I guess that's assuming that anyone actually gives a poo poo about the wet'suwet'en or any other indigenous people though.

I imagine, like Riel, they don't want to seriously harm the larger body-politic so much as they want it to stop being so disrespectful and making excuses and just sit down and negotiate fairly with them. If that doesn't happen then sure, more extreme sabotage could come into play.

Great, so Mr. Pallister wouldn't mind if we ran a pipeline through his back yard as long as most of his neighbors said it was okay with them? I mean, it won't affect their property, just his, but they all said it was fine, and hey, not everyone gete a veto.

Costa Rica is a pretty long detour for a pipeline running across Canada.

I love how many cowards there are in the CPC. Just loving own it, it's good that some Albertans tried to murder protestors with their bigass truck yeehaw lock them up. It's like when Chris Alexander was confronted with a cheering crowd for perhaps the first time in his life where people were chanting "Lock her up!" in reference to Rachel Notley he didn't know what to do. This is your base, deal with it.

Seems more like a fake out to try to monopolize reason, like "I'm not touching you" type stuff so that they can go "see we weren't touching them! they're the unreasonable ones!"
