Interesting his linking the Idle No More movement to the Occupy movement along with Unions and other "professional" protesters.

First Nation blockade in Sarnia coming down
A nearly two-week long First Nation blockade of a railway line in Sarnia, Ont., was being dismantled Wednesday night just hours after an Ontario judge ruled that it must come down.
Lawyers for CN Rail launched court action against Ron Plain, a member of the Aamjiwnaang First Nation, alleging that he was in contempt of an injunction to disband the protests on the railway tracks.
The court injunctions were issued on Dec. 21 and 27 and granted police the power to end the blockade to their discretion.
CN also filed a motion for Sarnia Police Chief Phil Nelson to appear Wednesday before a judge to explain what the force was doing about the protest.
Protesters with the Aamjiwnaang First Nation set up the blockade last month to denounce the federal government's omnibus Bill C-45, which they claim eliminates treaty and aboriginal rights set out in the Constitution.
CN spokesman Jim Feeny said Wednesday night that the blockade was being removed and once that was complete, railway crews would go in to inspect the track and signals.
Following his court appearance, Plain had said that there were no plans to disband the blockade, but Wednesday night he said the group was leaving after holding a ceremony.
The group alleges the railway tracks were not laid down legitimately.
The Sarnia blockade is one of several actions being taken across the country as part of an aboriginal movement known as Idle No More.
The blockade was in support of Attiwapiskat Chief Theresa Spence, who has been on a hunger strike in Ottawa since Dec. 11 demanding a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper.
Spence hopes that her strike will bring attention to aboriginal issues and secure her a meeting with Harper and the Governor General.
Sarnia Mayor Mike Bradley had said he was concerned that there might not be a peaceful resolution to the blockade, admitting he was worried patience for the blockade was running out.
"As every day goes by, concern about tensions is rising because there is an economic impact. It's having a negative impact here on industry," said Bradley.
The Sarnia police had said its officers would not disband the blockade unless it posed a safety risk.
-----------------------
Part of the problem is the last sentence; safety risk? FML, if I go and block the local railroad with some buddies, how long will it take for me to be arrested? Fuck I hate double standards. I liked the part in the article that says CN filed a motion to have teh Sarnia Police Chief up in front of the judge to explain where his nads are.
I almost laugh every time I see a picture of these Idle No More groups, who are sitting around...blocking traffic and trains and whatnot. How about being Idle No More literally, and going to work like most Canadians do? Fucktards.

That's what is hilarious - the efforts of Chief Spence might just be the undoing of any advances INM could make. I'm sure there are more than a few within the movement who aren't happy with her right now.
INM seems to be a movement of many. The "hunger strike" focuses on one...I wonder why?
I saw those comments, Strike, but refuse to debate anything on Facebook because it's utterly fucking useless. At least when the trolls make their way from rabble.ca over to here we have some pretty keen folks who can tear them apart. Not that I didn't enjoy the commentary of one semi famous army.ca member... >

Items/donations needed for Chief Spence's camp on Victoria Island
by IPSMO on Wednesday, January 2, 2013 at 9:52pm ·
Below is a list of items needed at Chief Spence’s camp on Victoria Island, Ottawa, Algonquin Territory.
Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapiskat First Nation, has been on a hunger strike since December 11th to bring to the awareness of Canadians and especially the Prime Minister and the Queens representative, the Governor General, the violations and ignoring of Treaties signed with First Nations which have led to the poverty of First Nations Peoples and exploitation of their land for the benefit of a few. To date, Prime Minister Stephen Harper has not responded to Chief Theresa Spence's demand.

Ummm?
Chief/Mayor Spence makes more in a month than I do in a year. Why would I need to donate to her cause?
And why would she want the following during a hunger strike:

Her and her husband make more than 200K why are they looking for so much in the way of support?
In particular, why does somone on a hunger strike need eggs, canned goods, moose, deer, or fish?
Good grief....not only is she still fat after 21 days of hunger strike, but her feet are huge and swollen to size 12?
Why does this not jive?

I would suggest that her "entourage" use their own funds (likely have more than most, or are otherwise subsidized anyway) and go to Mickey D's. I am sure that they are probably regulars at a local brasserie in Gatineau already.
And they all wear:

Not much on that list that jives with their ancestral\ traditional way of life.
Shouldn't they be hunting and fishing for their food? Making their own clothing?
Christ, they can't even set up a teepee without setting it on fire :
And how many more donation bank accounts are going to get opened that can't be scrutinized? So far this will make two, I think, just for Spence's group alone.

I posted Ezra's video, with my own commentary, and links to some of the stuff he highlighted (the treaty, band financials) on my FB. Some people have already begun to repost (so far the financials). Here's hoping the attention she wanted backfires in her face.

The Ezra Levant video is excellent. I generally have only marginal time for him, because he tends to be merely the opposite side of the "media party" coin he lambastes. But in this case, he's done some very informative research. Shame few Canadians will likely see this.
For those with short attention spans, fast-forward to the 20 minute mark and just listen to the final 10 minutes.

A buddy just sent me another one of Ezra Lavant's opinion pieces.
I have to admit, before today, I never watched the guy....but his stock is rising with me.

Now we're getting to the crux, and more info backing up E Levant's Idle\Occupy link.
