If that shakes your faith in our institutions, I’d urge you to consider how these things okay out elsewhere in the world, and how you would like our institutions to handle these things in the future. This ‘occupation’ is still substantially shorter than Occupy, BC Forestry or Coastal Link blockades. Are you going to support the immediate and heavy handed response against all future protests the moment they interfere with infrastructure? The UCP might support you there, and that’s generally a pretty ####ty side of the fence tinge aligned with.

I personally can't wait till the next environmental protest against any oil and gas development. Those protestors better get taken down by the cops in the most heavy handed manner possible.
And I'm sure everyone will support it 100%.
