    Not a Police Issue

    Joyc

    Sargent Andrew Joyce, Public Information Officer with the RCMP said protecting First Nation’s fishermen was not a police issue, including the vandalism and destruction of property. The police actually stood by some incidents and watched.

    I would have thought all Canadians had to play by the same rules. Unfortunately this isn’t the case.

    This is Police Issue

    Chief

    Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs released a statement condemning the RCMP’s tactics of “intimidation, harassment and ongoing threats of forceful intervention and removal of the Wet’suwet’en land defenders from Wet’suwet’en unceded territory.”


    So, protecting First Nations fishermen is not a police issue, but stealing land from the indigenous and forcing them to have a pipeline running through their property, is a police issue.

    If nothing else, it proves how much more work we have to do to make Canada a country that treats all citizens equally. Systemic racism thrives in Canada.
