    If you’re wondering why over 100 people have been arrested on Vancouver Island in the past week, trees like this are the answer. Activists are trying to protect some of the last ancient forests in North America, as logging companies seek to cut down trees like this. #FairyCreek

    This is Brandi’s job. She’s one of the most decorated field journalists in the country, and this is how the RCMP treat her. Repeatedly threatening her with arrest for asserting rights that the courts have instructed the RCMP to respect. This is not acceptable. #bcpoli #cdnpoli

    BREAKING: #FairyCreek injunction struck down by Justice Thompson of B.C. Supreme Court. The court found criminal law could be used on blockades, and that the RCMP’s method of enforcing the injunction violated civil liberties and press freedom and brought the court into disrepute.
