On the reports of #RCMP planes arriving in #Wetsuweten , CBC BC reporting on the radio this AM that the RCMP said they are currently planning an enforcement action. During state of emergency?! Dirty settler colonial tactics. Shame on you Justin Trudeau, John Horgan #RCMP offtheYintah

Why are planes, helicopters, provincial supports not reaching flood victims? Because they are sent to Smithers, to arrest Indigenous land defenders. These decisions were made during the flood, resources deployed before the SOE declared, prioritized over all else #BCStorm

There’s no adequate flood response without abandoning LNG. As long as we subsidize climate change and criminalize land defenders, we won’t be able to address the root causes of this devastation

Journalists are having a hard time entering the ILLEGAL EXCLUSION ZONE after one of theirs was arrested this morning. Gidimt’en Checkpoint #WetsuwetenStrong

Wet'suwet'en land defenders told Coastal GasLink that its workers would be evicted, and the company didn't inform them. Now they're stuck.

The best reporting about the north comes from the north, and Amanda Follett Hosgood's latest for The Tyee is no exception:

#RCMP rush to rescue Royal Dutch Shell, Mitsubishi Corp., Petronas, PetroChina, Korean Gas Corp and Trans Canada Pipeline during #bcflood2021 State of Emergency (caused by burning fossil fuels). #bcpoli #ClimateEmergency #AllOutForWedzinKwa #bcstorm

Breaking: Arrests going down at Gidimt'en on Wet'suwet'en yintah.

In middle of climate emergency, Canada, BC, police & capitalist thieves are arresting Indigenous land defenders on their lands who are protecting the sacred.

ALL EYES ON WET'SUWET'EN.

#bcpoli #cdnpoli

The reports are of large numbers of heavily-militarized RCMP, K9 units surround Wet'suwet'en positions.

This is a crisis, and silence is complicity right now.

#AllOutForWedzinKwa #WetsuwetenStrong #bcpoli #cdnpoli #NoConsentNoPipeline

I'm hearing from the frontline that arrests of at least a dozen peaceful land defenders and even elders, observers and media have begun in #Wetsuweten territory.

The governments of BC and Canada are allowing this colonial violence under cover of an emergency.
#AllOutForWedzinKwa

Arrests have started this morning at Gidimt’en camp. At least 15, including 1 media person, 3 legal observers and two Wet’suwet’en elders. One elder needs medication that was blocked from coming to camp yesterday.

Arrests reported as RCMP move to clear Wet'suwet'en pipeline resistance in B.C. for 3rd time

Once again, our nations must prepare for another attack on our homelands from Canada and police to satisfy corporate greed. We will stand up now with the Wet'suwet'en to protect their territory, because we know an attack on one of us is an attack on all of us. #AllOutForWedzinKwa

In middle of climate emergency and #BCFlood , we see stark reality of state 'organized abandonment and organized violence' (h/t Ruthie Gilmore) :

1) Sikh gurudwaras around the province are leading relief efforts, while govt can't even figure out a text alert system.

Getting reports that there are heavy equipment, RCMP, CGL security on both ends of Cas Yikh yintah. Bulldozer was chasing people. Will attempt to keep updated on the latest here. We need all the support and noise you can make right now to keep our people safe! #AllOutForWedzinKwa

Our Spokesperson Skyler Williams was just arrested at Gidimt’en Checkpoint

We demand his immediate release and all other land defenders arrested today

11:50 am, Nov 18. 4 arrests made at 44K, including 2 indigenous elders. Janet Williams is our elder and she was denied access to her medication by the illegal RCMP exclusion zone. She will need her medication in jail.
