From the beautiful unceded Unis’tot’en Yintah (Territory): On the evening of November 20th, 2012, Wet’suwet’en Chief Toghestiy intercepted and issued an eagle feather to surveyors from the Can-Am Geomatics company who were working for Apache’s proposed Pacific Trails Pipeline (PTP). In Wet’suwet’en law, an eagle feather is used as a first and only notice of trespass.

Brigette DePape, the “Rogue Page” who disrupted the federal throne speech with a “Stop Harper” sign challenged Wildrose leader Danielle Smith as she arrived to cast her ballot at a polling station in High River with a similar sign reading “Stop Harper’s Gang”...“We know that the same people who are behind Stephen Harper’s gutting of the laws which protect the environment, his waging war on civil society groups for speaking up for Canadian values, and his absolute refusal to take action on climate change are the same gang who are behind the Wildrose...”

On March 14, 2012, Occupy Ottawa activist and progressive political blogger, Obert Madondo, embarked on an indefinite hunger strike against Prime Minister Stephen Harper’s new draconian crime law, deceptively christened "Safe Streets and Communities Act". On March 27, he submitted his letter of demands to all of Canada's 308 MPs and 105 senators. Thirty six days later, he still hasn't received a response. Obert is worried that this "tyranny of silence" is meant to wear him down, and that it will become the new normal in Canada under Harper.

On December 20th 2011, a member of the G20 Investigative Team came to his home at Sagatay Men's Residence to serve [Ryan Rainville] with an appeal of his sentence. The implication of this action is that his sentence is too light. It is clear that Ryan’s pride in his convictions and anarchist values have led them to target him in an attempt to send a clear message to other anarchists, that our politics and bodies will be criminalized if we do not fall in line.
