I hope this shows the RCMP and TX company that many people are on the side of the people, the native Canadians!

Solidarity across Canada and filtering down in the US.

OR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…

We, the Mi'kmaq Treaty beneficiary with the support of the Mi'kmaq women of Mi'kmaki'k stand united for the protection of our water as a Nation within our homeland which we hold legal title. Water is sacred, without water no life can exist. As Mi'kmaq, we have the responsibility of stewardship and this stewardship is reflected in the treaty relationship which is based upon our covenant with Creator. To this end we have inherited the duty to defend all that is sacred.

The dangers of shale gas development pose an irreparable harm to the water table. The risk is preventable only by prohibition. A prohibition is not possible under current environmental review regulations thanks to the legislative changes imposed by the Harper Conservatives this past year. We believe that water is critical to our survival, and therefore we support our brothers and sisters of Elsipogtog at Signigtog who were attacked by a military show of force by RCMP this morning for their efforts to defend the sacred waters of Signigtog.

In solidarity with our brothers and sisters of Elsipogtog, the Mi'kmaq Treaty Beneficiary's, the women of Unama'ki, and the Nova Scotia Native Women's Asscoation will host a peaceful protest at Auld's Cove at 1 o'clock, Friday, October 18t. In solidarity, there will also be peaceful slowdown of traffic at Millbrook on Highway 102 at 1 pm.

Please bring water, your Mi'kmaq flags, your posters and join us in song, ceremony and prayers at Auld's Cove, Canso Causeway on Friday, October 18th, at 1 pm. OR, you can attend the peaceful slowdown at Millbrook at the same time at 1 pm.

In Creator & Treaty we Trust…

with shrapnel inside. Don't forget that. Could have killed someone. And that makes it a good thing to police got control of things. Because the organizers of the demonstrations didn't have control over what was said to be a peaceful demonstration.

check out rnc8 .. .they said those 8 people had weapons. and the Sheriff.. claimed all these different things were weapons.
Turned out none of it was true. Yet the media repeated his lies over and over.

the really issue is the RCMP are protesting a TX company to rape and pillage native land. They should even be there let alone go up against the natives who are trying to protect their land and water.

TV. They also showed rifles and tons of ammo. I'm all for people demonstrating for their rights. Don't get me wrong. They just have to be safely organized. As to your assertion that the police would fake a display of dangerous weapons: never true.

can I sell you some land in .... geezz

People wondered if there was going to be an "American Spring."

A little while later, they seem to have decided that since white middle class college graduates weren't toppling governments, the answer was "no."

I think they were wrong. I think there is an "American Spring" happening. it's slower than what Tunisia got, to be sure. But it's there. it's just happening somewhere most people aren't looking.
