I don't think these protests are cut and dry as some imply.
But here's Scheer playing a wild card.
I still can't believe this shit.
Not surprised in the slightest, but it is still shocking.

TLDR:Hello, friends! Let's say I am a Canadian citizen who very rarely follows our national news. Can someone give me a short explanation as to what the protests are over? Or if there's already an explanation post, can someone threadmark it?
You're not wrong, good press doesn't even sell that well with, well, the press. But it remains that many, if not all the people crying about inconvenience wouldn't give a shit about the injustice regardless. It's bullshit from folks who should examine their desire not to see and care about the ugliness in front of them.Its not even that. If there isn't disruption, then the press straight up does not care. Peaceful Protests don't sell views.
Not to be outdone, I feel like CPC candidates want to LOSE the general
I've been getting those calls a lot this past week, so this is good to hear. Also, thank goodness for my Pixel 3's screen call function since it makes it just a bit easier to deal with these scam calls.At least it seems like Trudeau is not going to order RCMP to interfere to end the blockade.
Again, if they don't want to cancel it, why don't they just divert and move the pipeline around? :P
This at least is making me feel some relief:
FINALLY some of the CRA robocall scammers are being taken down..

There's lots to criticize about, but acting so punitive towards that institution would be counterproductive.
Where do indigenous tribes affected by pipelines fall on your vulnerability scale?Good. Let's fuck up with each other lives for every issue in this country and live in chaos till we get everyone's attention and reach a consensus.
Who cares if this will harm everyone and specially the most vulnerable, right?

Stuff the talk radio CBC with conservative talking heads, return the music radio CBC to "proper" classical music.

Each set of leaders has unique jurisdiction, in the same way that municipal and provincial governments do. The band chiefs, who were imposed by the Indian Act, govern their reserves, while hereditary chiefs predate Canada, and govern the entire Wet'suwet'en territory. It's worth noting that they are not anti-industry and have long held logging agreements.
A key point that project proponents emphasize, is that 20 elected band councils signed benefits agreements, a phrasing that relies on Canadians' social conditioning—one that assumes democratic systems are fundamentally more fair.
While talking about benefits agreements, duress is inherent in the process—First Nations can't actually say no to any project in Canada. In addition, most councils are cash-strapped, and some reported that they were told the project would go ahead with or without their consent—they might as well get on board for a payout. Leaked examples of Coastal GasLink agreements show evidence of large provincial subsidies to get First Nations on board, attempts to muzzle pipeline dissent, and to limit Aboriginal rights.
indeedIt's pathetic how vulnerable our infrastructure. Just a single blockage is enough to paralyze our rail system. I remember similar thing happened but with bridge instead. You have to go to the USA to get to Eastern part. Jeez
And who does this Martin Luther fellow think he is? Shutting down the way from Selma to Montgomery with his "peaceful protest"?Good. Let's fuck up with each other lives for every issue in this country and live in chaos till we get everyone's attention and reach a consensus.

Hell is freezing over. I guess we should start herding two animals from each species just in case
They blocked a bridge in Vancouver that effects emergency services. Ambulances have taken significantly longer to make it to hospitals so the protests are endangering lives.So who are these "most vulnerable" you keep bringing up that these protests are harming?
Nana Ruth will be fine.They blocked a bridge in Vancouver that effects emergency services. Ambulances have taken significantly longer to make it to hospitals so the protests are endangering lives.
Get talking, get it resolved. Divert the pipeline if necessary. Protests shutting down railways and roads can't continue.

What?
How?
I'd say neither of those groups were going to vote Liberal, and in the case of the first, have never voted for anything but CPC."Trudeau doesn't care about Canadian workers and their jobs and livelihood"
OR
"Trudeau is a colonialist"
That's how you split a vote.
Gutter has posted many times that anything that doesn't help the LPC helps the CPC. That includes anything that helps the NDP, Green, etc.
And then trudeau points to job numbers and his tax cuts. They either argue against aboriginals and the right to protest or they argue that white people are the problem and they wont do that."Trudeau doesn't care about Canadian workers and their jobs and livelihood"
OR
"Trudeau is a colonialist"
That's how you split a vote. No easy answers here.

Which is the unfortunate truth. But challenge without friction really is simply grandstanding.Aren't these rail shutdowns impacting Eastern Canada? Because I seem to remember a lot of Red there.
Postmedia can spin this as well.
Ultimately it's going to cause a lot of division.

Yes, and it's helped the native population how? Someone always eats dirt in a capitalist society.

Did i miss them doing something?
Cons want no part of this, same as JT
The answer is simpler than that. How about clean water?I never said it helped the native population or that it's even a good thing.
Canada has always gotten by with slight progress, feeling good about ourselves because we aren't as shitty as Trumpistan next door. We're a proud bunch.
No one wants reconciliation besides the feel good headlines because if a government were to pay restitution for what it would really cost, people would start screaming why aren't you spending it on X. Few wants reconciliation if it means going billions into deficit.
It would take a hypothetical future progressive government a hell of a lot of money and PR skills to enact restitution and throw other Canadians a giant bone like UBI to avoid resentment that government cares more about indigenous people thanCanadianswhite people. And they'd need a balanced budget that year as well to really sell the idea too.
If Canadians won't even support giving dental and pharmacare to all Canadians, what chance do the indigenous people have?
Scheer would have the protesters arrested before you can finish a glass of milk.
If it was a hot issue and there was massive protests it'd probably already be done.
