Squamfan Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Stop the funding, or start a train at full speed towards them they will move. maybe we should block roads to reverses and see how they will react RCMP arrested that guy for removing the blockade but don't have the balls to arrest these idiots. you can be arrested for drinking a beer while walking our dog, but get off scotch free for illegally blocking trains that affect people lively hood. Justin Trudeau needs to grow a paid. Instead of running trying to get that stupid un seat, he needs to call a emergency meeting between government official in that area, those chiefs and the pipeline company and tell them better get this s**t fixed. Also get a court injunction and order the RCMP to arrest any protestors blocking roadways, bridges, railroads.

Industrious1 Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 What a mess. A small minority of people holding the majority hostage. My heart goes out to my home Province and all the people affected. Hope everyone stays safe over there and this doesn't boil over into violence.

So much so they've got the PM talking about it. Protesting in a park or somewhere out of the way and lame won't accomplish anything. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kingofsurrey Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 (edited) Why are people so concerned ? Did a few people actually have to reorganize rides to work today... carpooling must be so00000 difficult. Will these people affected by the protests have access to government paid counselling so they can properly heal ? When our government ignores climate change.... this is the result.

Some people were unable to pick their kids up after work. That's not a minor thing. In addition, I have several friends who are currently off work, because of the rail blockades. The fact that all of them support the pipeline doesn't seem to matter to the protesters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure if you call your daycare and say your transit is stopped by a protest, your daycare will stay open till you get there. I don't imagine a daycare is going to kick out a group of 3 years olds to the street and tell them to walk home..... When our government ignores scientitic research on climate change.... there will be protests. Its actually quite predictable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please provide the source of your claim that the current Liberal government is ignoring climate change. Last time I checked we are still part of the Paris Accords, unlike our neighbors to the south. Please provide the sources that these protests are about climate change and not Indigenous rights. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone who knows me here is well aware that I'm an advocate for addressing Climate Change, but not everything is black and white as you seem to think it is. I was against Enbridge, but I support TMX and Coastal gaslink, because they are more environmentally friendly than the alternatives. It's all well and good to sit back and say things like "stop using fossil fuels altogether and move to Solar, Wind and Wave, but I live in the real world and I know that any such move is going to happen gradually. In the mean time, it makes sense to provide energy in the most efficient way possible. In regards to your last sentence, if this was done "exactly as intended", I'd say it was pretty cynical. Taking money out of someone else's pocket, in order to further one's political goals, isn't something I agree with, no matter what your ends happen to be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tre Mac Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 Personally I think the way this pipeline was approved was shady as f#$% and completely reeks of the shortsightedness effect. And the fact that Squamfan and Mike Farnsworth are so against these protests adds validity to my suspicion. There's a bigger picture than being late for work or having to shell out extra because of transit closures. We just had to endure the exact same thing last month due to the weather - which is getting more erratic due to climate change from shortsighted projects like this. This pipeline will leak and it will cause serious damage to our environment and it's tragic that people only care about getting to work. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, of course Canadians are starting to stand up against climate change. When the governments. ( BC and Canada ) ) fail to do what was promised in their election campaigns... then of course people will be upset and protest. Fracking is terrible for our environment and this pipeline will only increase the amount of fracking going on. LNG is still a dirty energy. Climate change is real despite what the climate change deniers post on this site. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
