Ancient Growth logging continues on southern Vancouver Island near Fairy Creek. This is a picture of people climbing an estimated* 600yr old cedar marked for removal this week. They had to sneak around police and logging company barriers to set up the tree sit. Last heard they are still there. Over two dozen arrested.

Did #BC just flood the #PeaceValley to use #SiteC Dam power for LNG and an Bell/Grok AI data cluster?
Is this the start of US corporations drinking our water for memes of Will Smith eating spaghetti?
This is disturbing behaviour from our province. #BCNDP have clearly forgotten that they are on a razor’s edge and can be voted out easily.
Eby continues to embrace #LNG extraction in the wake of #TMX, #SiteC, #FairyCreek and now Elon’s #AI Data Centers will be drinking our water?
This #BCNDP is clearly no better than destructive #Conservatives, if they continue down this path they’ve lost my vote.
Trump is not an excuse to openly rape our Province for profit, #Eby is completely out of line and no different than #Horgan.

#RCMP was ‘unreasonable’ when setting up exclusion zones around Fairy Creek protest
By Leanne Sanders
Sep 11, 2024The Civilian Review and Complaints Commission for the RCMP - #CRCC says that the RCMP was unreasonable in setting up broad #ExclusionZones and checkpoints while enforcing a civil #injunction covering the #FairyCreek area in #BritishColumbia, home to #OldGrowth #forests and a #protest led by people trying to save them.
“In its review, the CRCC found that the broad exclusion zones and checkpoints used by members of the RCMP’s Community-Industry Response Group #CIRG were unreasonable,” said the report released on Wednesday. “The review determined that the RCMP’s demand to search the complainant at a checkpoint on a public road was unfounded, and his arrest, after refusing to agree to the search, was groundless.”
C-IRG is a low-profile RCMP group tasked with responding to protests and other public order events about resource based #industrial projects like #logging and #pipeline construction.

#ForestProtectors Arrested at #FairyCreek
By Brenda Norrell, Censored News, August 16, 2023
"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target #NativePeople with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are #BritishColumbia's C-IRG, the Community #Industry Response Group.
"Mourning the invasion of the #MilitarizedPolice squad who arrested the #ForestDefenders, who were his guests, #Pacheedaht #FirstNation Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'
"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of #indigenous-led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia. They are militarized, have no budget limit, and the officers get paid handsomely to force #pipelines, #mines, #dams, and #logging through unceded #IndigenousTerritories, without consent. This is just another extension of the #RCMP’s original task- to remove and separate people from the land and enforce #ColonialRule. They do not keep us safe, they protect #capital."
Background: Back to Fairy Creek
"The last time the world was watching Fairy Creek, we witnessed the largest act of #CivilDisobedience in #CanadianHistory. Well over 1,000 Indigenous and non-Indigenous forest defenders were arrested by the RCMP over months of tense standoffs in 2021 as #activists sought to halt the logging of rare #AncientTrees.
"The courts hammered that movement, with charges and bail conditions keeping many away, and the tussle in the trees went dormant for most of the last two years.
"Until now.
"A new blockade, led by #IndigenousYouth and supported by non-Indigenous allies, has just been erected on a key bridge crossing an arterial logging road. The RCMP's specialized tactical team that responds to land defence actions is present and surveilling the camp. A raid could come any day, and having #media on the ground is of crucial importance to keep tabs on police and document the latest developments as land defenders seek to protect their unceded territories from old-growth logging."
