From the RCMP on down, Canadian police represent a National Security threat to Canada and our allies.
On a recent afternoon in the Fairy Creek watershed on Vancouver Island a group of about 40 old-growth logging demonstrators stood face to face with a solid line of silent RCMP officers at the River Camp blockade northeast of Port Renfrew.
A demonstrator, acting as a liaison with police, informed the group the police would be forcing them up the road in order to access a tripod structure to which a protester was harnessed. Many of the protesters willingly dispersed.
Police enforcement that afternoon, Aug. 26, was relatively calm, measured, and based largely on communication.
It's a contrast from the aggressive enforcement tactics police have used against the protesters, such as their use of pepper spray on Aug. 21, which was recorded and shared on YouTube the same day.
