Coastal GasLink site in B.C. left with millions in damage after violent attack by masked assailants wielding axes
Financial Post ^

RCMP are investigating what is being described as a “organized violent attack” on pipeline workers, police and equipment at a Coastal GasLink drilling site near the Morice River in northern British Columbia.

Mounties were called for reports that 20 masked people, some of them wielding axes, had attacked security guards at the work site near Houston, B.C., shortly after midnight Thursday, smashing the windows of their vehicle.

(snip)

The site of Thursday’s attack is in an area that has been a flashpoint for past blockades and protests by opponents of the pipeline, including supporters of the hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en First Nation, a northern B.C. First Nation that comprises both elected and hereditary chiefs.

Interesting. No arrests made. Trudeau has invoked the Emergency Powers Act to go after bouncy castles, and yet indigenous populations are exempted.

Apparently, some protests are worse than others....

Yep, my first reaction, too.

Peaceful protests against two long years of government tyranny — Illegal and to be put down with force.
Violent protests against energy development — Nothing to see.

Trudeau has exempted minorities and other protected people from the Emergency Acts. Only white people are to be arrested, so this event will not get any attention from the media or the authorities. Trudeau might announce that it is perfectly understandable if he says anything at all.

Lol, actually peaceful truckers = bad. Actually violent leftist environmentalists = good.

Is the problem with “right” protestors that they are politically to the right, or is it because their civility makes them easy targets?

Apparently the CBC has been very quiet on it. Might have something to do with people noting the contrast....

Not sure, maybe it has something to do with his hurt feelings...or sumptin’

Looks like he is very even handed with protests. Here is a comparison:

It crossed my mind. Though, with their central authority going berserker over truck drivers that distraction was an opportunity for eco-warriors.
