Canada hijacked by the far left

A protest I saw on the news in Vancouver had few Natives present.

Ostensibly the blockades are in solidarity with First Nations directly impacted by the Coastal GasLink pipeline in British Columbia. However, the inconvenient fact is that all 20 First Nations along the pipeline route have signed agreements with the pipeline company through their elected band councils and thousands of Indigenous people support the project.



But what about the non-aboriginal protesters, aptly labelled by Conservative leader Andrew Scheer as "radical activists," many of whom have no connection to the Wet'suwet'en? Activists, Scheer reminded us, who have the luxury of spending days at a time at a blockade. When Scheer referred to such full-time protesters as "privileged", there was an outcry by these make-believe proletariats, play-acting the Bolshevik Revolution at CN rail intersections.



These wannabe revolutionaries have aligned themselves with five Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs opposed to the pipeline, and not the 13,000 Indigenous British Columbians represented by all the band councils that support it.



One would have expected Canada's professional protestors to have sided with the elected leaders of the Wet'suwet'en first nation. But they did not. Instead they back the unelected self-appointed Hereditary Chiefs.



Let our Aboriginal and Indigenous brothers and sisters own their own land and homes on reserves, while retaining all the rights they have as First Nations. Putting First Nations in Communist-style collectives while the rest of us enjoy the benefits of building wealth and equity in our homes is a travesty.



As for unelected Hereditary Chiefs having a veto over decisions made by elected Band Councils, imaging if the Queen as hereditary monarch of Canada possessed the same veto over our elected parliament. Think about it.

The privileged white rent a mob climate alarmists would have us believe the majority of Aboriginals who elected leaders who support Coastal Gas Link don't count. Only the hereditary Chiefs who have no mandate, but feel left out.

I support the people of Wet'Suwet'en band. That's why I support the building of pipelines. Because that is what the vast majority of the band wants. That's democracy.

 

All 20 the First Nations on the Coastal GasLink pipeline route have agreements in place and will receive direct benefits. They are pro pipeline.



All the elected First Nations band councils along the route have voted to allow the pipeline to proceed. So who do these non-Indigenous protesters pretend to represent?



The professional protestors or vigilantes blocking Canada's rail lines need to pack up and go home.

Peter McKay has been forced to delete that tweet because he's been accused of backing vigilantism.

The hired prog hands blocking railways in defiance of the law are vigilantes.

This should not shock anyone, but the most dishonest of progtards, but the protesters don't give no fucks about Indians. Most Indians along the right support the project which is why their elected banc councils endorsed the project.





'It's none of their business': The Wet'suwet'en people who want the protesters to stop



https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/wet-suwet-en-coastal-gas-link-pipeline-lng-1.5469401">https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/wet-su ... -1.5469401">https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/wet-suwet-en-coastal-gas-link-pipeline-lng-1.5469401



At public meeting in Houston B.C., community members explain their support for the project



Another day of blockades across the country means more protesters with signs bearing slogans such as "Wet'suwet'en Strong" and "Stand with Wet'suwet'en."



They're showing support for the hereditary chiefs who oppose construction of a new pipeline through their territory in northern B.C.



The protesters though are drawing the ire of many in the Wet'suwet'en Nation who not only support the project, but see it as a way for the community to flourish.



The Coastal GasLink pipeline would move natural gas from northeastern B.C. to the West Coast for export, while creating jobs and other financial benefits.



It's why 20 elected First Nations signed their support of the project. Calgary-based TC Energy is developing the $6-billion pipeline.



On Wednesday, about 200 people gave up three hours of their afternoon to pack a movie theatre in the community of Houston, a town of about 3,000 people in northwestern B.C., in the heart of the Wet'suwet'en Nation.



This was a pro-pipeline event as members of the Wet'suwet'en Nation explained why they support construction of the Coastal GasLink pipeline.



The people who came out to the meeting say they want to see the natural gas pipeline built. They say the project will create well-paid jobs that will bring economic opportunities to their communities.



Among the supporters was Robert Skin, who said he was elected to the council of the Skin Tyee First Nation, which is part of the Wet'suwet'en Nation, to move the community forward.



He said the pipeline will mean a better life for the next generation.



"With the benefit agreement that [the Skin Tyee] did sign, I see us being in a better place even within the next five years," Skin said.



Speaking to the crowd at the theatre, he said protesters "only get one side of the story" and don't understand the advantages this type of infrastructure project can provide.



Many who attended the meeting said the protesters across the country don't understand the issue, and don't realize many of the Wet'sewet'en want the project to be built.



That's why the event was the first time Marion Tiljoe Shepherd has shared her feelings. She owns her own trucking company in Houston. She's optimistic the project will be built and the economic benefits will provide a financial boost to her business and many others in the area.



Shepherd said she's increasingly angered by the protesters across the country. She said they don't speak for, nor represent her community.



"It's none of their business," she said in an interview following the event. "All of these protesters don't have the right to close down railways and ships. It's not right. Go away. I want them to leave."

The elected band council supports the project as do many hereditary chiefs. The laws of Canada would say that the elected band council speaks for the people of the community and so would their most recent election where this was an issue but Trudeau thinks he knows better.



Can you imagine a small group of Conservative MPs saying they disagreed with a bill the government wanted to pass and Trudeau deciding that since those MPs opposed it, then the law could not apply to all of Canada?

The rent a mobs don't respect democracy. And they don't want Aboriginal prosperity.

After five years of consultation, the pipeline has the approval of 20 elected band councils.



It is bitterly opposed by the non-elected hereditary chiefs.



Who should speak for the Wet'suwet'en people?



Consider the Witset band council where pro-pipeline Sandra George was recently elected chief, soundly defeating the anti-pipeline candidate Freda Husan.



She's the spokesperson for the Unist'ot'en camp that is blocking the pipeline under the authority of hereditary chief Warner Naziel.



He assumed that position when Gloria George was stripped of the title over her openness to working with Coastal GasLink.



The cadre of woke folks protesting the Coastal GasLink pipeline across Canada are backing Husan over George. They are horribly wrong. The way forward for all the people of Canada requires a basic respect for democracy and the rule of law.



Anything less is chaos and tyranny.



The principles of democracy and rule of law are not trivial. They are the foundation of a just society.



The will of the Wet'suwet'en people, expressed through their elected representatives, deserves the unwavering support of the Government of Canada.
