So terrorists have shutdown via rail how is this not getting more attention?

[LakeLocker]

How is this a thing?

Can I block the subway in Toronto if I feel strongly about something?

[MonkeyRonin]

Whether or not you agree with the cause of the protest, blocking trains is not terrorism.

So what is it then?

I literal have no frame of reference for this.

When I look international the main people hijacking transit routes are terrorists.




I'm not sure any of this makes sense.


How is blocking a car free transit system a method of stopping environmental destruction?

I can't even process how this makes sense.


I also can't understand why I can't block the go train in Toronto to protest these people blocking the via rail line.

This seems like a very immature post that's just trolling to start an argument ..

Give me a better frame of reference.


I honestly can't figure out how to process this.

I didn't know this was literally possible.

Is there some legal clause I don't know about?

Why can't I block the subway?

Please explain this to me.

Why aren't these people being arrested?


I honestly haven't heard of this happening anywhere ever where it wasn't done by terrorists/revolutionairies.


I never thought this was something that'd ever happen Canada.

If your First Nation? Or at least wear First Nations headdress.

Honestly I'm just waiting for a few First Nations gun owners to talk about how guns are an essential part of their culture so I can put some First Nations headdress on and go out with the rest of gun owners to block traffic and fight for indigenous rights.

I am actually, again why I am so confused by this.


Maybe if you see natives as the other you'lll see things differently, but I can't imagine my grandmother ever doing something like this.

It is just bizarre I feel like I'm missing something but I can't figure out what.

I can't figure out why if they can do this, why my dad can't block the go train.

And its because were all about being politically correct in Canada. We've been taught that causes backed by First Nations, LGBT, teachers, etc. must be "right" without question. There has been some great south park episodes about this. The reason Jessica Yaniv has gone from hero to scum is that she was originally supported (and assumed to be right) due to her LGBT status until she got so abusive that even her staunchest supporters had to back up.

You have the elected leaders of First Nations publicly supporting this pipeline, but no one cares. This has never been about First Nations, activists for the environment and activists that join any cause are just there to pretend to care when in reality they are stepping on First Nations rights to govern themselves by supporting hereditary dictators.

A pipeline at the centre of a conflict between hereditary chiefs and a natural gas company in northern British Columbia is creating jobs for Indigenous people and lifting communities from poverty, says an elected chief of a band that supports the project.

All 20 elected band councils along the Coastal GasLink pipeline route have signed benefits agreements with the company. The Haisla Nation in Kitimat is among them and Chief Coun. Crystal Smith said the project will help the community become less reliant on meagre federal funding.

It is quite sad that Canadians have lost the ability to think for themselves.

Did someone tell you that you can't go out and block a subway?

Not sure why you can't try. Have at 'er.

Honestly I'd rather obstruct traffic on the basis of preventing car usage.

If I were to do so it'd not be the primary source of transit for not drivers.

This is why I am so confused.

Do you not think the protesters won't get arrested if they don't comply with a court order to move?

The police did that very same thing today in Vancouver.

It's a peaceful protest through means of civil disobedience. Obstructing routes of travel is actually a pretty common form of protest, at that.

No trains are being hijacked, nothing is being blown up, no one is being physically attacked. Attempting to intimidate opposing viewpoints into submission through violence & fear - that's terrorism.

[Acajack]

There is a significant difference between terrorism and civil disobedience.

[Spocket]

I have no clue what you're referring to but I assume there's somebody conducting a protest somewhere? That's not terrorism unless they're threatening to kill somebody so as to scare them into submission. If that were the case there'd be military involved and people would probably end up dead either way.

And no, you're not technically allowed to do it but you're not allowed to jaywalk either. Pretty sure that hasn't made the definition of terrorism yet.

[CityTech]

I don't agree that this constitutes terrorism (simply because it's not killing or injuring anyone), but I do think that this form of protest is unacceptable. Protestors should not have the right to cause economic damage and block infrastructure from functioning.

The protestors should be removed from the tracks by force, arrested and ideally made to serve prison sentences for trespass and sabotage, and if possible, should be sued by VIA and CN for damages (although they likely don't have the assets to pay up, so that last one is likely moot).

If it's not illegal to disrupt transportation infrastructure, it should be.

Peaceful protest is a right, but blocking transportation infrastructure, which disrupts the economy and normal functioning of society, is not peaceful.

Also the subway gets shut down pretty frequently due to unauthorized people on track level, or due to jumpers, etc.

Are these people terrorists too?

So why does it take 5 days to resolve the issue?

Absolutely how is this even a question?
