Sort of reminiscent of the pipeline mess in North Dakota a few years back. There was outside funding and staffing. When the mess was over there were huge piles of garbage.
The ND lefties, so concerned about the environment left garbage. The Canadian bunch are so concerned they are burning tires.
RE: It seems so much safer to have rail cars of oil transported on tracks.
The point of this blockade is this — NO OIL, NO NATURAL GAS, WHATSOEVER !!
Does ANYone in Canada have the ‘nads (or will) to reign in these anarchists.
Aren’t they conducting war against the country?
“... there are both historical and relatively recent political reasons why Trudeau has been taking a kid gloves approach to this crisis.”
That and the fact Trudeau is a complete puss.

2 systems of Justice in Canada -
1 for the natives
1 for everyone else
Guess Canadians had better get busy chopping firewood.
And how do these retrogrades intend to heat their homes? Wood fires? You know, the thing that gives you lung diseases like cancer?
When will the shooting war begin. Marxist criminals need to pay.
Con job. In many places if not most, MOST of the protesters are white liberals protesting on the behest of the Chiefs. So you have under 100 people bringing the country to a halt.
The heads of the OPP and RCMP are politically correct wimps. I have to say I am also disappointed in Doug Ford who seems to be completely absent at the moment.
Honest citizens dare not do anything. A person was already arrested for TAKING DOWN A BARRICADE on Vancouver Island.
My first reaction too, but there miles and miles of track. I don't have any idea how you patrol all of them. Sabotage probably isn't that difficult.

Well, the rail cars in that picture probably didn’t have much in them to be riding that high in the water. I know oil is lighter than water, but rail cars are not made of wood. I’m guessing an empty tank car weighs around 20 tons.
The blockade in Ontario is about 3000 miles east of where the pipeline is being constructed. This is anarchy aimed at extorting billions in additional government handouts.
Marxists behaving in a way that would make Alinsky proud.
RCMP = Royal Cream Mounted Puffs!
Somebody enforce the laws up there, esp. for arson and reckless endangerment of public transportation!!!
They aren’t necessarily floating...just piled on one anther.
7.62 51 at 2700 feet per second and problem solved.
I wish this not but the best question is why should this horrible action be necessary? I pray I never fire a weapon against my country man. If I must I will do it with great skill. I am an old man of 71 years of age. I am gentle man. I wish not violence nor death. If I must defend my Constitution I will be a warrior. I am damn good with rifles. Actually I am extremely good with rifles up to 300 yards with open sights. Beyond this 300 hundred yards take very expensive sights for my 300 Win Mag.
