VIDEO: "There'll be no more clean water, no more animals!"

As I was saying, there's a heap big protest going on across Canada, as a handful of Indians (politically incorrect term for "First Nations") and hundreds of radical left activists block railway tracks to protest the building of a natural gas pipeline across "Indian land" claimed by the Wet'suwet'en people of northern British Columbia.

The blockades have brought traffic on much of Canada's already struggling rail network to a halt, but according to the Prime Minister of Canuckistan "reconciliation" trumps economics, and the "unfortunate situation" must be resolved through "dialogue, not force". Walt finds it strange that Mr Socks hasn't sent his ace dialoguer, Chrystia Freeland (now Deputy Prime Minister in Charge of Nothing) to negotiate with the protesters. "These people are impossible! I'm going home!"

Here's a very short video scraped from CTV News yesterday, showing what happens when you to try to dialogue with climate alarmists and professional protesters.



"There won't be any more clean drinking water or any more animals!" Dontcha love it? And by the way, does that guy sound like an Indian to you? In Canada, First Nations people have a distinctive way of speaking, which you'll hear if you watch North of 60, a great drama series [soap opera? Ed.] produced in the 1990s by (incredibly) the CBC, and still viewable on APTN (the Aboriginal Peoples TV Network) and YouTube. But I digress. That snowflake sounds like a whitey to me. And why is it that all these protesters are wearing antifa-style masks and balaclavas? Just askin'...

UPDATE ADDED at 0725: Canada's Public Safety and Emergency Unpreparedness Minister Bill Blair has just announced that the Mounties in British Columbia have agreed to withdraw from their position on Wet'suwet'en territory and barricade themselves in a nearby town named L'alamo. [Ed., please check town name.]

So Just In (from Africa) Trudeau's Liberal government has caved to a few dozen radical activists who don't even have the support of the majority of the Wet'suwet'en people, as represented by their elected (as opposed to hereditary) chiefs. In today's Canuckistan, the mob rules!
