I can appreciate that people will argue that these are anecdotal examples at best, however without any media coverage who are we to get the facts from if not the people experiencing it first hand? If the government were doing everything on the up and up there wouldn’t be a media blackout in the area, and as I previously said any media blackout in itself should be very concerning to any Canadian. If you want to debate whether or not a Supreme Court decision should be enforceable on unceeded land there are other posters who are more knowledgeable than I on such matters.
I don’t think there is any easy or simple solution here, but the Canadian government going in and imposing their will on people while not allowing the media to closely cover it shouldn’t be part of the solution IMO.

Imposing their will or enforcing the law?
