A group called Clear the Road is threatening to launch a class-action lawsuit against the protesters who are set to block roads to B.C. Ferries and other highways across B.C. on Monday, saying the protests are costing them money.
“People are being held hostage by the illegal blockades,” spokeswoman Tamara Meggitt said. “There needs to be consequences. We’re seeing a catch-and-release program.”
She said the blockades are frustrating working people and scaring parents with sick kids. Protesters are acting with impunity because there are no consequences for the illegal blockades, even for those who are arrested and charged: “They go to jail and they’re processed, and they get out and they go back out there (on the blockades).”
