The Braided Warriors returned to the site of last week's protest to film testimonials of their experiences with the VPD to be submitted to the UN Human Rights Council Committee.

An Indigenous youth group is hoping the United Nations will step in and help them seek justice after they claim they were “brutalized” by Vancouver Police Department officers who broke up what they say was a peaceful protest last week.

More than 1,300 trees slated to come down

Another large protest was held in Burnaby earlier this week condemning the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion project, but chainsaws still went ahead cutting down local trees in area around the Brunette River.

The protest on Sunday included a march to visit activists camped in a treehouse 60 feet in a tree along the pipeline route. One activist has been camped in the tree for over two months.

Magpie River - SNAP Quebec/Facebook

With its kilometres of rapids and deep blue waters winding through Quebec’s Côte-Nord region, the Magpie river has long been a culturally significant spot for the Innu of Ekuanitshit. 

Now the river, a majestic, world-renowned whitewater rafting destination, has been granted legal personhood status in a bid to protect it from future threats, such as hydroelectric development. Its new status means the body of water could theoretically sue the government.
