According to supporters of the
blockade, more than a dozen RCMP officers moved past the police
checkpoint on Morice Forest Service Road early Thursday morning.
“It’s a whole damn army up there,” said Wet’suwet’en hereditary Chief Woos, who also goes by the name Frank Alec.
“They’ve got guns on, they’ve got tactical gear on. They look like they’re ready for war.”
