X2 It's a terrorist act all the way, let the military loose and lock up or do whatever it takes to stop these criminals.

And I predict Trudeau will spend some money towards something Canadians want in order to diffuse the bad publicity

Typical Liberal way of dealing with things. They know people can be bought. Watch for it.

I feel everyone had level heads today. I fear if this is done elsewhere it turns bad.

I would willingly buy a round of beer for the guys who took the blockade down - good on them for standing up when the rest of the country is paralyzed by cowardice.

I wish the media would report more on the group that removed the protest. This could work as a "how to" manual for the other provinces.

I don’t fear it as much as expect it. Sadly, sometimes bringing on the hellfire is what spurs on adaptation and change. Something needs to change because this is getting pathetic.

Did the indians just pile up a bunch of crap and take off, or were they there "protesting" all day?

Yes that was cool to see!

I’m wondering where they’ll set up tomorrow? Unless they’re taken to jail charged this will keep happening over and over.

I was watching news on all the blockades, and the Liberal plan, and think I finally understand what it is.

They are going to talk everyone to death. Pretty sure that's it, no other explanation.

So was there an actual confrontation or did a group just clean up the mess after the injunctions were served? Pretty much zero info on the news and what is there lacks detail.

I work probably 500m from where this blockade took place. Was surprised how fast it went up and went down.

Not going to lie though, I almost wish it stayed. That train is a huge PITA. Lol. Kidding, of course.

Kurt and Nitro; thanks for reading about the truth.

Since 1986, that area has providing me with so much joy when it comes to what we all have in common; outdoors, fishing all the rest. A very special place.

It makes me sad that the people who were, through some dedicated leaders, enjoying great advances in their future have seen this happen to their communities.

But they are just a small few; they will get rooted out and most are kind, humble and industrious people.

Makes a person ask why we pay taxes for police and politicians if the working fella has to deal with these problems while they sit back and watch??

I think it was taken down only after the courts ruled it illegal
