Blockading railroads taking protest too far

-

Hats off to the anti-protesters at the Acheson rail crossing for dismantlin­g the blockade. I’m all for free speech, but do it by standing beside the railway or bridge or roadway with a sign, not by preventing people from going about their daily business and trying to earn a living to support their families.

I’m afraid that the native agenda has been hijacked by climate hysteria and the government is paralyzed. The silent majority now needs to be more vocal and express our concerns. Yes, natives have had a rough go but now they have the opportunit­y to benefit from some resource initiative­s that can benefit their communitie­s. Jack Jones, Edmonton
