In Alberta, where the blockade of the U.S.-Canada border at Coutts has lasted nearly a week, Chief Allan Adam of the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation called out the disparity in how the blockades have been dealt with and questioned why it has been allowed to remain.

“If this blockade had been organized by Indigenous people, we have no doubt that authorities would respond quickly to remove the blockade and utilize the law that has been created to do so,” Adam said in a statement released Feb. 2.

The trucker convoy began as a protest of vaccine mandates for truckers and a requirement that unvaccinated truckers returning from the U.S. to Canada must go into quarantine. Nearly 85 percent of eligible Canadians have been vaccinated, and the protesters have drawn no support from the large trucking companies or unions.

The Alberta blockade appears to be in violation of the Critical Infrastructure Defense Act, which was introduced into the Alberta Legislature in February 2020 when the Wet’suwet’en pipeline protest in British Columbia was at its height. It went into law four months later.

1. Silly injun

Those laws are meant to punish indigenous people and their allies that protest environmental injustice, not for white people throwing a hissy fit.
