Nothing says "backbone" like "capitulation":
And yet they are not going anywhere:
What would simply be a matter of enforcing the law in most countries, it is a mixture of weakness, incompetence and master plan for the Trudeau government.
Conveniently forgetting how he ordered theGestapo RCMP to not investigate his office before the 2019 election, Justin shrugged his shoulders when asked to enforce the law until Quebec pointed out that it was now tired of these antics (fat lot of good it did them. They had to send in the brute squad.). Then, as instantly as he said it, he had an about-face and demanded that the blockades come down, even though he is not going to make them come down.
No matter how many frustrated people took matters into their own hands, no matter the effect on the economy, no matter a possible terrorist event on the tracks, Justin showed his indifference and ultimately his weakness.
Now he is staring at a monster he cannot control.
Justin only moved when Quebec was personally annoyed (and I'm sure he is not taking the Buffalo Declaration seriously, if he's heard of it or if he can spell buffalo) but not a minute before. And despite all of his bowing, the malcontents are still not going to move. Canadians could easily forget this by summer but are they prepared for these blockages to become the new normal?
Let's see how much beer doesn't come in before one can make a conclusion.
Also - his father may have had an American passport but at least he is not taking American money to thwart the Canadian welfare train:
You live in the middle of nowhere, you waste Canadian taxpayer money on fire-water and when a stellar economic opportunity comes by, you tank it for spending money that the Americans are giving you.
Check your privilege, jack-off.
Vaguely related - because no one will block roads for less-marketable victims. That's why:
If this violence is "entrenched", it can't be "unique". "Entrenched" suggests it has existed for a long time and is openly accepted.
So there's that.
No one had a problem mourning over Colten Boushie when it suited them.
Can't both sides profit?
I've said it before and I will say it again - there will never be a pipeline built or added to in this country:
It's just an economy:
Hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en Nation meeting on Saturday with Mohawk leaders in Kahnawake confirmed they’ve spoken with British Columbia’s commanding RCMP officer about police withdrawing from a protest site against a proposed gas pipeline.
However, despite that conversation, the hereditary chiefs have not decided to call for the dismantling of railway blockades across the country, including in Kahanwake, on the South Shore of Montreal. ...
On Wednesday, Strachan, in charge of the Mounties in B.C., offered in a letter to the chiefs to move the police detachment from near the protest site in northern B.C. to the nearby town of Houston in an attempt to defuse tensions. The next day, however, a Wet’suwet’en spokesperson said the RCMP hadn’t “officially engaged” with them
That changed on Friday when they did, indeed, speak with Strachen. That same day, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau insisted the “barricades must come down now.”
And yet they are not going anywhere:
Two days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said rail blockades across Canada need to come down, a group of protesters have set up camp on a major train crossing in East Vancouver.
The demonstrators gathered at the CN Rail tracks near Clark Drive and Venables Street just before noon Sunday, violating an injunction the rail company was granted by B.C. Supreme Court the last time its tracks were blocked earlier this month.

Protesters in Regina are standing up against comments made by Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer.
On Saturday, dozens of people showed up to the “Check Sheer’s Privilege Rally” at his constituency office on 984 Albert St.
The name of the rally was in response to Scheer telling protesters to “check their privilege.”
“These protesters, these activists have the luxury of spending days at a time at a blockade, but they need to check their privilege,” he said on Feb. 14 in response to rail lines being blocked.
“They need to check their privilege and let people whose jobs depend on the railway system — small businesses, farmers — do their jobs.” ...
Lee Prosper, a speaker at Saturday’s rally, decided to join the Canada-wide protests following Scheer’s remarks.
He referred to Scheer’s comment as “subtle racism,” as many Indigenous communities have been discriminated against for generations while many continue to lack basic services.

Myrna Dawson is no stranger to questions about focusing on violence against women when murder victims are predominantly men. As the director of the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability, she gets it a lot.
Her quick response? “It’s not a competition — it’s about prevention.”
Her less-quick response? Violence against women is unique, and entrenched in our society, where she and many other experts note that social structures “perpetuate and maintain gender inequalities.”
If this violence is "entrenched", it can't be "unique". "Entrenched" suggests it has existed for a long time and is openly accepted.
So there's that.

It's just an economy:
Teck Resources Ltd. says it will take an impairment charge of about $1.13 billion if the federal government decides not to approve its Frontier oilsands mining project.
A decision on the $20.6-billion, 260,000-barrel-per-day project, which is expected to produce about four million tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions per year over 40 years, is expected before the end of the month.
