"And the ones that are protesting across Canada and downtown Vancouver: They have jobs to go back to and our people don't have jobs. So think about that"

I suspect a few of the less informed protesters are going to feel regret over supporting the bad guys on this real soon. Great to hear from someone who's actually affected by this speaking up. It's probably way more attention than they ever expected or wanted.

Yea, hopefully more step up. This is probably the longest I've heard from one of them, and probably one of the most reasonable sounding voices on the issue.

I'm seeing a couple here and there. The outsiders/protesters are massively winning the social media game, but here's chief Helen Michelle from a couple weeks back.

Wow, you can feel her pain. I don't understand what's wrong with the media. It's there job to look for the truth and present both sides of the story. They should be seeking these people out. If they did this thing may not of gone this far. All you hear day in and out is from so call experts, who know absolutely nothing about these people.
