Spoiler!
I was going to ask if that was when they had still planned an interchange at Richard Road, but that PDF suggests that this was after that had been cut.

Watching the live presser and lolololol, ohhhh boy, there's now a young man at the mic talking about how this is a "sad day", about how his family's home on Weaselhead Road was bulldozed and the family was left homeless. I'm guessing this fella wasn't supposed to be up there.


("lol"-ing not at him, but at the embarrassment the politicians are suffering right now)

Yeeeeep... Not like they can just send a couple cops in and tackle him, can you imagine the uproar?

Smart fella.

Boy are the Tsuut'ina band councillors squirming in the background.

"Today is not a good day, today is a sad day, my mom is probably at home right now crying..."

"My family has been mourning for years..."

Yikes.

He just cut off his hair and left it on the road after saying "I will now leave a piece of me with the road".

I cannot believe what just happened, to be honest.



"In this bag I carry the dirt from my land that you have bulldozed and paved with concrete. Today is not a day to be shaking hands and smiling. My mom is at home crying, and she will continue to cry."

It was just the right amount of perfect, to some degree. Well spoken, thought out remarks. Didn't go up there name calling at McIver or Kenney or anything. His stares were deadly. Could have closed his comments by spitting on the road or something... nope. Cuts off hair that probably took 7 years to grow since the deal was signed in 2013 and left it there.

I'm still shocked right now.

Everyone seems a little subdued now... I like how they keep panning by the hair on the road.

Reporters not addressing it so far, sticking to questions they clearly had prepped before.

Lololol, not anymore. Question directly to the Chief about the young man's comments.

Well that was.... something.

Wow, I missed most of it and it was still awkward. I hope that full video gets posted up.

Don't worry Archer, I guarantee it'll end up headlining the 6 o'clock news and the papers tomorrow.
