Thousands of Canadians are feared to be inconvenienced as actions in support of the Wet’suwet’en Nation intensify across the country.
“You have to understand, being inconvenienced is like genocide to us,” said Lily LeBlanc, a spokesperson for Canadians.
“I can barely say these words to you, I’m so inconvenienced.”
Many are asking the Canadian government to call in the army to deal with a rail blockade that has left easily accessible travel alternatives between Montreal and Toronto, or round dances which mean people in Winnipeg need to detour a few city blocks.
“This is a virtual bloodbath,” LeBlanc said. “I mean, there’s no real blood, but inconvenience feels like that to Canadians.”
Officials said it helps to think of the blockades, marches and round dances as Santa parades or celebrations for hockey wins, which also snarl traffic but are completely acceptable.
