A blockade set up on a Canadian National rail line on the western edge of Edmonton in support of Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs was being dismantled — at least temporarily — Wednesday after a handful of counter-protesters showed up.
Wet’suwet’en supporters linked arms in front their camp as a few counter-protesters tried to remove pallets and other materials from the tracks.
“This is the violence. See this is the violence,” said a protester, who had his face covered.
“This is not violence. I am just trying to remove some garbage,” a counter-protester responded.
I went into town for breakfast this morning. The fellows were remarking that the RCMP sergeant has not shown up at the restaurant for his morning toast and coffee for about a week now. We figure he has taken a dislike to the music he is hearing.
