This was blabbed about in Rabble Jan.8, 2015.
Folks like Krystalline Kraus should be fined and jailed for encouraging support for breaking the law. She clearly understands that blocking roads, rails, etc. is a crime.
It's mentioned in the rabble article below ..it's to protest "everything from GMO crops to police brutality."
We get planned events like this due to reverse racism.
A couple of years ago DeBeers was contemplating suing for loss of revenue due to police inaction even though a court injunctioin was issued ordering the road be re-opened.

"A court injunction was issued earlier this month, ordering that the road be re-opened to traffic, but protestors remained. Police said they were waiting on specific instructions from the court on exactly how to proceed with ending the blockade peacefully"
Anyone blocking roads, rail, highway, ports, illegally should go to jail....regardless of who they are. Anyone found guilty of conspiring or promoting crime like.. Kyrstalline Kraus should also get charged iwth a crime.

I just want to give everyone a quick heads up about an action that is in its planning stages so I don't have any idea what's to come of it, but I know the organizer could use some help.
The premise of the demonstrations seems pretty simple: to prevent "business as usual" politics across Canada on February 13, 2014. Again, that might seem a tad bit far away, but there are logistic meetings to be had and art builds to organize.
While the organizing group is calling themselves Solidarity with Land Defenders, it seems to be shaping up as a catch all for civil unrest and they are calling their action #ShutDownCanada.
There seems to be different manifestos based on the different regions and struggles in Canada -- everything from GMO crops to police brutality -- but here is a quick snapshot from their main page which does reference the high number of cases of murdered and missing Indigenous women:
"CALLOUT for communities across Canada to blockade their local railway, port or highway on February 13th. Don't buy, don't fly, no work and keep the kids home from school. A diversity of tactics is highly recommended! Get everyone involved. The goal is to significantly impact the Canadian economy for a day and demand there be an independent inquiry into the 2000+ cases of missing or murdered indigenous women. It's Time to #ShutDownCanada."
You should also note from that statement that these events are being billed as Diversity of Tactics -- which pretty much sounds like what the words mean.
Whatever people plan on doing, it looks like could get pretty big and I'll be keeping a close eye on things here on rabble.ca through the Activist Communiqe and through Twitter @krystalline_k
