There are many non first nations in solidarity with the protests and blockade. Also, among these protesters are women, children and elders.
I'm glad that there are people actively trying to protect our environment. It's deplorable the way we're treating the planet.

Title to the land does not usually include mineral rights.
The fact that the RCMP are attempting to remove an illegal road block, should be an indication that the blockade is in fact illegal.
Should Joe Public be allowed to disrupt commerce because he suspects that the environment isn't being protected?
I would argue that better results would have been had for all had they used legal means to express their concerns.
