Day of Action

Cheers to the aboriginal protesters that are starting to block the arteries of the Canadian death economy. I can't exclaim just how scared this makes CEOs, politicians and other servants of the death economy. What, we can't get our freshly cut "wood" to market? What about our shipment of plastic crap from China? Oh, what about the profits?

There are some criticisms that this is a violent act. Bull. They might have guns to ensure their blockades today but take an indigenous studies course or even a Canadian history course and you might get a real explanation of violence. Violence isn't always carrying a gun and blocking a road or railway like we might think. Very often it involves developing systems that decimate a population without having to resort to direct violence. These systems have taken centuries to develop in Canada and indigenous people are the primary victims.

Of all people they have the right to stand up and demonstrate the weak points of the industrial death economy for all people of good conscience.
