A revolution is growing in Canada. It began with the RCMP and Coastal Gas Linkâs invasion of sovereign indigenous Wetâsuwetâen territory in the province that goes by the colonial name of British Columbia, backed by snipers and armored vehicles. It began with the arrest of indigenous land defenders, matriarchs and hereditary chiefs. It began with the mass arrests of indigenous land defenders and their allies, who blockaded the port of Vancouver and closed down rail lines across the country in a show of solidarity with the Wetâsuwetâen people and in staunch opposition to the settler-colonial state that is invading their lands and oppressing them in the name of extractive industry and fossil fuel expansion through pipelines built on stolen indigenous land. And the resistance movement continues to grow. Bridges, ports, railways, and the offices of prominent politicians and corporations have been occupied/shutdown. I want people to appreciate how radical this moment is.
