Joliette, QC: Banner Dropped in Solidarity with Wet’suwet’en

The following action report was originally submitted to Montreal Counter-Info.

Saturday morning, an anonymous group unfurled a banner on the CN bridge crossing the L’Assomption River in Joliette, unceded First Nations territory. This action demonstrates solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en people and their hereditary chiefs who oppose the passage of the Coastal GasLink Pipeline Project on their traditional territory in British Columbia.

The anonymous group is calling for all forms of solidarity actions in order to maintain and strengthen the balance of power established across Canada and calls on the Trudeau government to address the underlying issue! The ”inconveniences” that Canada is currently experiencing because of the blockades are trivial compared to the injustices experienced by indigenous peoples.
