As did the various band councils. Only a couple of NON-ELECTED chiefs are promoting this. <br />I ask you Kemper, who is paying for all of this stuff? I think you will find AstroTurfing if you look. But you have to look. I can't force your eyes to open. demonstrations and blockades don't happen for free, and I doubt the organizers are free either.Doug Hornbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11332523340503739346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994429952556375554.post-87765746164164996942020-02-15T06:48:27.163-08:002020-02-15T06:48:27.163-08:00I have seen some of the figures quoted for refiner...I have seen some of the figures quoted for refinery workers salary and pensions. Where else can you work and not have to contribute to your own pension fund? I think the average worker would rather be back at work and not walking a picket line. That union has zero support in rural Sask. which is really not surprising. <br />If all my neighbours had voted in favour of a pipeline crossing their land and I was the one holding it up, I would not have much power to protest. And compensation or "right of way" is paid as far as I know.

...I should probably also not comment but here goes.<br /><br />Where did you hear that the union was pushing people to strike for a better pension? The way I heard it, the company wants to make their pension WORSE.<br /><br />And as far as the rail shutdowns go. Yes I guess if you just parked your tractor on the railroad for no reason the police would tell you to move on.<br /><br />But if a pipeline company backed by the RCMP told you that they were putting a pipeline across your land and the land of your neighbours whether you wanted it there or not, even after you suggested an alternate route, I think you'd have a fit. <br /><br />And if you and your neighbours started blocking railroads with your tractors at that point it would be a political protest and they would be treated differently by the police.<br /><br />And if other farmers across Canada looked at the raw deal you were getting and also started protesting to support you, again, same thing.<br /><br />When the "United We Roll" convoy drove to Parliament Hill the police did not arrest them for blocking traffic in Ottawa.Kempnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520536677579914675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994429952556375554.post-18673571932805779762020-02-15T05:13:26.784-08:002020-02-15T05:13:26.784-08:00Many of us in Western Canada remember the late 60&...Many of us in Western Canada remember the late 60's and the 70's, that is when I learned the old adage "follow the money".<br />Out poltroons in office at all levels prance and proclaim, but they are bought and paid for. Saskatchewan's latest brush with La Mangentic like terror has received lip service. Cheaper and poorer than I could find in downtown Regina. So here we are. <br />Are we going to get active? Yell and scream? Sue the Cheifs, How about suing the Rockefeller's, Buffet, Soros and the rest of that Motley Crew. Their monies spent on Green crap are dwarfed by the profits achieved by rail transport.wpgmanhttp://wpgman.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994429952556375554.post-2117120233684870902020-02-14T21:04:34.381-08:002020-02-14T21:04:34.381-08:00The scary part is that they elected him for a seco...The scary part is that they elected him for a second term.
