The Mi’kmaq of Elsipogtog are resisting fracking on their unceded territory. Here is an article/video about the blockade. The RCMP attacked the camp today, some of which you can see in these GIFs.

This may become a serious stand-off. Some say the new Oka. There are caravans and resource deliveries being set up around Canada. Here are some links for some starting in Vancouver. (Apologies for the facebook link)

I suggest all who are able to make an appearance. One surely filled with rage. One reason Oka failed so miserably was due to the lack of resources. The state starved them out. We must not let this happen.
