Local First Nations Bands suggest roadblock, lawsuits or worse could occur over the Prosperity Mine Project

CBC's BC website has a story on the Prosperity Mine Project and what local First Nations bands may be prepared to do if the project is approved by the Federal Government, later this year

Although lawsuits and roadblocks are a perfectly legitimate way to protest projects involved First Nations' rights, any suggestion(s) around violence on any matter is unacceptable and we, as a society, must avoid any actions that leads to that occuring. I also believe that we should stray away from making such comments, even if not directly said. We should not condone violence, no matter what form it takes

The story is here
