Senior North Dakota law enforcement officials said Monday the use of a makeshift water cannon in sub-zero temperatures against supporters of a Native American-led anti-oil pipeline movement was “effective” and could be used again.
County and state police blasted a fire hose mounted on the gun turret of an armoured personnel vehicle during a seven-hour, all-out assault which lasted from Sunday evening to early Monday morning.
None should be in the slightest surprised at the anti-British Columbia stance of Justin Trudeau and the Liberals. As Talleyrand famously noted when, after the fall of Napoleon the Bourbons were restored, “they learned nothing and forgot nothing”.
Thus it is with the Liberals who, once safely back in power, turn their attention to repaying supporters, namely Ontario financiers and the oil industry, often the same people. This ancient Liberal policy never fails.
Thousands of protestors cried betrayal Saturday during a massive march against Justin Trudeau’s anticipated approval of the Trans Mountain pipeline expansion.
The federal government will make a decision by Dec. 19 on whether to allow Texas energy giant Kinder Morgan to twin its existing pipeline, which primarily carries bitumen from Alberta’s oil sands to the Westridge Marine Terminal in Burnaby.

The effects of climate change disproportionately affect indigenous people around the world, although they contribute to it the least.
That’s one message Manitoba’s regional chief to the Assembly of First Nations has taken to Marrakech, Morocco, where leaders from around the world have gathered for the United Nations climate conference.
Kevin Hart, who co-chairs the AFN’s committee on climate and the environment, told CTV Winnipeg indigenous economies are built on a harmonious relationship with nature.
Indigenous stories: Group led by UBCIC Grand Chief Stewart Phillip will sign on to do “whatever it takes” to stop pipeline.
People at a mass rally against Kinder Morgan on Saturday are expected to make a group pledge to take escalating actions if the pipeline project is approved.
The event will begin at City Hall at noon and is expected to draw hundreds of people including Indigenous, provincial and municipal leaders, as well as Green Party Leader Elizabeth May.
