Has anybody heard anything about a native blockade next week against the ROF
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Yes I did Axeman. Sorry you took a pounding for this information. I posted this on the FWR forum a week ago and received one response so just figured nobody cares. Below is a copy of the article. I have since found that it may not be as big a deal as if seems. At least we hope this does not develop into something. We are all aware that virtually every play in the ROF has a rep for our First Nations and keep them well informed and included.
