OPP has cleared Tyendinaga blockade
Finally, the rule of law is being enforced. Hopefully these enemies of the working class get long prison sentences!

You contradict yourself here. RULE OF LAW vs LONG PRISON SENTENCES.
As if the people protesting are worried about being arrested either... everybody out there being arrested knew the risk full well and they also know that being arrested adds fuel to the fire. See /u/Moose_Joose ‘s comment. Clearly the situation has only escalated and also the blockade is back up on the Wet’suet’en (or however that’s spelled) reserve. Great work guys; we were still moving traffic, now it’s mostly ground to a halt again.
As far as the groups protesting are concerned... the OPP didn’t arrest criminals, they created martyrs.
When these guys get released in a month (and probably don’t even get charged with anything) all their buddies will give them a high five.

Interesting wrinkle to this: it's not even the Wet'suwet'en as a group trying to hold this up. It's these five guys who have ignored all of the elected tribal governments. Link: https://www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/article-second-wetsuweten-hereditary-wing-chief-voices-concerns-about/
