So I guess what you're saying is that you're not for negotiating?
No, I think we should negociate. But saying the current blockades do not affect anyone is really wrong.
I didn't say anyone, I said everyone, which is a significant difference. I agree the impacts of the blockades grow with time, and that we should increase the efforts to negotiate.
That said, no matter what we do in this situation, iit'll affect people. Why are some people being affected more important than others? This is the actual bullshit here.
It's almost like reconciliation isn't easy and that saying "we're sorry" is literally just lip service.
I do like Scheer saying that it's appropriation though. lol

My guess for an immediate resolution is: there'll be some sort of temporary halt announced on the GasLink project, this will allow the blockades to go down, then the involved parties will vanish into the backrooms to try to hash out a long-term resolution while the general public forgets about all this.
I can't believe I'm ever saying this, but I agree with YFB. It's not up to the RoC to judge them and come in between them.
I'm seeing alot of folks online mad about the hereditary chiefs holding this thing up, but if it's their tribal customs then we should respect it.
The VIA rail shutdown negatively affected me too, so I would like to see it resolved obviously, but not if it's by RCMP trampling them like Scheer wants

It's their land.
If it was some white guy in a log cabin in the way of their precious pipeline, they'd have picked an alternate route like the chiefs proposed.
I'm not even environmentalist, but I'm actually sick of pipelines. These things have legit become our biggest fault lines nationally now. Every time one comes up, it becomes a huge headache. Off the top of my head, Trans Mountain, Keystone XL, Energy East, Coastal GasLink. I couldn't tell you where they start or terminate at, but they generate so much news that I am forced to be aware of them.
I don't even know what a realistic roadmap is to get off O&G, but just... Enough
Love this. Let that piece of shit and his party know that it's the RoC vs the Cons.
When a guy makes it his mission to act like a piece of garbage everyday, it's only natural he gets shown the curb.
Him and Ford should move to America and join the GOP they love so much. American dairy farmers need to offload large quantities of excess dairy, so perhaps Scheer can take his Peter Pettigrew looking ass there to help them out.
He's so sleazy
He adds nothing but garbage to the dialogue than plays the victim acting like he's being shut out
When will people understand they are not entitled to others having to listen to them

To think, there was a pretty good chance this guy Scheer could very well have been our premier...
Thank God, the last thing we need to do is escalate this any further by using force.

Teehee.
I hope all the actual adults in the room can figure something out.
Does he think this is some galaxy-brain political maneuver? Poisoning the whole discussion and then trying to spin shutting out the poisoner as hypocritical?
Well-played Scheer, you absolute doofus.

My eyes are now solely on Trudeau for this matter, and how he handles this is a large test. So far, I'm not impressed.
It's impossible for me to be unbiased on the matter as I have a close family friend whose livelihood is at risk, but I'm trying to keep an open mind. I just hope it's resolved soon.

Just a daily reminder that Andy Smeer is a shitty racist, and should fuck off for all eternity.
That's no big deal. Moe is blustering about a situation that fundamentally doesn't involve him much.

the biggest damage is that the capital of sympathy towards Indigenous Issues will be lost if these illegal protests continue.61% of Canadians oppose Wet’suwet’en solidarity blockades, 75% back action to help Indigenous people: poll | Globalnews.ca

No one should be surprised by this.
This only tilts things toward the conservatives:(
People expect the government to prioritize jobs, the economy and "old stock Canadians".
Indigenous people are somewhere near the bottom.
Pretty sure Scheer is making a play to become the next CPC leader with this.

It's more complicated than that I think. Some racist folks only care about the economy and would run into these protests with loaded trains. Other people feel we should respect the law and not punish the average worker when protesting. It's not black and white.
Add to the fact that a lot of members in those communities are for the project, so there is confusion on the message.
My guess is most people are against the protests but still want a negociated deal.
