The last confrontation in Wet’suwet’en had First Nations from other provinces joining in solidarity. Enter Alberta Premier Jason Kenney and his anti-protest legislation. Kenney quickly enacted Bill 1 to protect “critical infrastructure” and to fine those driven to protest. This is your Canada. There is a rule of law for the First Nations and a rule of law that applies to non-First Nation people. What happens to First Nation people standing against injustice? They are beaten, cuffed and thrown into jail. At Wet’suwet’en, even some non-First Nation journalists were thrown into jail for reporting on the Wet’suwet’en land defence. How can we reconcile this?
