They are calling them terrorists and everything.. Doesn't help when they torch cop cars, but there are white people there as well involved in the protests. Mostly Mi'kmaq natives from Elsipogtog First Nation. I live next to a large reserve and they have blocked traffic to one lane on the bridge going to New Brunswick and they will be meeting to decide what other actions they want to take. I have friends that are in Elsipogtog right now.
