Was just chatting with a fellow environmental activist friend on the phone. She reminded me of when Cowichan RCMP were unable to stop a popup protest at the Ramada Inn hotel in Duncan, once we found out it was one of the main hotels hosting RCMP CIRG corporate mercenaries from 2021-2023. It's because RCMP exhausted staffing for ecocidal maniacs & there wasn't enough personnel to shut protest down quickly. They had to get Nanaimo & Campbell River RCMP to come down to shut down protest. Almost every civilian we talked to during the don't house corporate mercenaries protest weren't happy about our tax monies going to pay RCMP CIRG goons. Some didn't know CIRG was only created in 2017 to protect industrial interests over citizens' & environmental interests too.

Fellow #SaveOldGrowth forest defender, Sheena, made a short film. It includes the jingle dance circle with me & several other #environmental #landback #activists on the bridge between River & Landback resistance camps.

River & Landback camps were main strongholds at Fairy Creek blockade. River camp was the first resistance camp set up in 2020 & it ran for a year before final big raid. There are 2 very rough logging roads that lead up to untouched old growth forest tracts from these camps. River camp is also where people could go hike to see/visit with Grandmother & Grandfather cedars. After we were removed, industry started cutting more roads up into the untouched old growth tracts. Teal Jones logging company has since pulled out due to financial issues & everything is up in the air at this time. Temporary deferral was renewed this year for some tracts by this one particular area in the watershed. Still hoping for permanent protections as the elder trees are not included in this small deferral.

"My student documentary on the Fairy Creek/Ada'itsx old growth forest blockade 🌲 something of a collage, made with many hands and hearts. While the blockade and movement has evolved and gone through many stages, the momentum remains and many still carry forth the activism in heart and deed."

#RCMP issued an #apology on September 7, 2024, for the historic use of #StreetChecks and other harmful interactions with members of the #African #NovaScotian community. It was an apology too long in coming, for treatment that was, in the words of Rev. Lennett Anderson, “dehumanizing and tragic.” And the RCMP's history suggests we should be deeply skeptical that the proposed action plan will be even close to what is required to remedy these grave injustices.

In his 2019 report, written for the #NovaScotia #HumanRights Commission, Dr. Scot Wortley defines street checks as any occasion in which civilians are stopped by #police and subjected to intrusive questions, and their personal information collected into a database. He confirmed what community members have known for years: people of African descent in the #Halifax region are almost six times more likely to face street checks.

It took five years after the release of this report for the RCMP to apologize for the harms caused. They also committed to an action plan, developed in consultation with members of 13 African Nova Scotian communities and the Association of #Black #SocialWorkers.

Posting some of my older photos because I've been stuck at home for a bit & I have a ton of old photo memories.

This is from 2021. I went up for frontlines arrestees court support in #Nanaimo. Pictured here with sister-friend Ojistoh, Grandma Losa, Chiykotin & sister-friend Raven(Wolf) in front of Nanaimo courthouse.

#FuckTheRCMP - they flew these #helicopters multiple times, daily, circling over us, to try & intimidate us. An hour after I took this vid clip - they flew above us again. I mooned them from landback resistance camp bridge.

The voluntary RCMP #CIRG unit was created in 2017 as a strictly corporate mercenaries unit in BC. Approved by #BCNDP government. The same government who has given them multiple budget increases - millions of #BCtaxpayers monies were used for that. Taxpayers monies were also used by #BCgovernment on attempts to criminalize environmental activists in BC courts. Some of the court cases are still ongoing.

RCMP CIRG is a fully voluntary unit & RCMP who choose to join the unit get paid more than regular RCMP goons. It's all about the extra money for these colonial greedy chumps.

2021, from the frontlines.

The #BritishColumbia #RCMP are trying to put pressure on sitting MLAs & swamp them with pro policing budget increase letters.
RCMP are a bunch of fascist finance sucking fuckers.

#RCMP arbitrarily decides who's a #journalist & who isn’t & prevented journalists from #accessing sites of #Indigenous resistance. When #media fought back RCMP reduced those barriers only to #obstruct journalists’ ability to #document arrests. #Mounties have aimed guns at journalists. They’ve #arrested & #jailed #reporters for doing their job. These are #incursions on journalists’ & all #Canadians #ConstitutionalRight to a #FreePress 💥

RULE 1 - do whatever you can to get hardlockers water. Several times, #RCMP under brutal #SgtCharney CO - known to be unhinged, has multiple violations for racism/bigotry under his belt, moved from Winnipeg to Surrey - refused water for ppl. ExWife filed against him & that's how he ended up in BC. RCMP doesn't care if you beat your wife. They care more about hiding their own crimes against citizens.

“They ( #Canada & #CGL ) don’t care about the land. All they care about is the #money ” says #ChiefGisdaywa. “We don’t want the money. We want our land. Once we #pollute this #river that’ll be it. Everything down the line… our fish will be gone, once our fish are gone our wildlife will be gone. And once they’re gone, we’ll be right behind them.”

“Where was the protection for Dale?” Debbie Pierre, Culver’s cousin, asked. “Where was the protection for his children, his families, the #Gitxsan, the #Wetsuweten Nation?”

Culver died July 18, 2017, during an altercation with police. Last month, the #BCProsecutionService announced #manslaughter #charges against two #PrinceGeorge #RCMP officers related to his death.

Me, standing in front of an RCMP cruiser with my cane raised in air, not smiling & holding a protest sign that reads: Arrest the real criminals.

“An RCMP squad charged with policing resistance to resource extraction in British Columbia spent nearly $50 million enforcing injunctions obtained by the petroleum and forestry sectors in its first five years…

“Formed in 2017, the Community-Industry Response Group (C-IRG) has no defined territorial jurisdiction, an unknown number of members, and no set budget.”
