I hope these native activists are thankful they are situated in Canada, not the US. In the states a guy just got 13 years in prison after being decaired an "eco-terrorist".

I see native blockades as very similar to extremist enviornmental activisim. It draws attention to their complaints, but it also gives law enforcement an excuse to crack down - even if a protest is peaceful.
Plus it ticks the majority of the population off... |
I don't know about you, but this is their land originally. I've always had a soft place in my heart for oppressed people, and those who have been colonised. However, if one were to be subjugated to a colonial master, being part of Canada (the greatest country in the world) is your best bet in getting a fair shake.
Think of the Scottish, the Irish, the Tibetans, great civilizations that have fallen. ahhh, go natives!
