Wet'suwet'en Land Defenders Defy Eviction Order and Shut Down Canada
In this segment, Jacquie and Sean are joined by Molly Wickham, spokesperson of the Gidimt'en Camp of the Wet'suwet'en Nation, to talk about the Canadian government's decision to enforce an injunction by Coastal GasLink to raid a Wet'suwet'en resistance camp and allow construction of a gas pipeline through ancestral territory, how misleading headlines about the supposed withdrawal of police from Wet'suwet'en territory today gloss over the reality that land defenders still face an eviction order, why a corporate PR campaign employing a handful of indigenous voices is complicating the media narrative, what this moment reveals about the power of indigenous and working-class people as they #ShutDownCanada from coast-to-coast, how native traditions and perspectives impact the strategy of the resistance movement, and what supporters can do to stand with the land defenders in the protracted fight against corporate extraction.
