Ordinary Canadians and First Nations.<br /><br />I certainly don't begrudge them or their methods. I've even praised them from time-to-time. Both when they block roads or railways and cause genuine disruption to an evil status-quo, and in their demonstrations (which accompany their practical activism) such as when they hung that banner from the Peace Tower at the Parliament buildings.<br /><br />I don't have the freedom of circumstances to go out to the woods for weeks or months at a time. <br /><br />But another thing, is that my cause is civil rights and democracy. And I saw my role as mobilizing people to safeguard such things as freedom from torture, the maintenance of public accountability for government, free and fair elections, and etc.<br /><br />Without those rights, we get what we're getting now: Governments free to arrest without charge and hold people indefinitely (and torture and assassinate them if US precedents come north), eco-protester branded as "terrorists" and subject to all the abuses listed above; the First Nations' treaties completely nullified and their homelands invaded and subjugated; collusion between the state "security" apparatus and corporate predators, and on and on ...thwaphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399550285738440669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2022452485619502579.post-69401043264194171182014-04-21T21:20:31.308-04:002014-04-21T21:20:31.308-04:00A group of people, some of whom I know Anon, are a...A group of people, some of whom I know Anon, are already on the main lines.

However, don't try and wake anybody up. <br /><br />Canadians are well known to sleep through, absolutely everything. Harper counts on it. <br /><br />Besides which, the Royal Canadian Conservative Police are on the side, of the PMO. The PMO are permitted to aid and cover-up for a criminal, who thieved from the tax payers. They are also permitted to, sanitize thieving Senators expense claims.<br /><br />The opposition is doing, what about the corruption of the, Harper CRAP government?<br /><br />I am too old or else, I would lead the revolution.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
