RCMP vs Indians – Separatism is Treason
The RCMP is defending its response to an anti-fracking protest in eastern New Brunswick that turned violent on Thursday, saying that police “have no choice but to react” when public safety is compromised.
Cmdr. Roger Brown told reporters Friday that officers seized firearms, as well as improvised explosive devices and “a large amount of ammunition, knives and bear spray” at the scene of the protest, outside the Elsipogtog First Nation reserve near Rexton, N.B.
At least 40 protesters were arrested Thursday after police were called in to dismantle a two-week-old blockade. Protesters were trying to stop seismic testing at the site of a proposed shale gas development.

Treason
We may begin to answer the question “Whatever happened to treason?” by looking at a 2002 CBC “re-enactment” of the treason trial of Louis Riel. In real life, Riel was convicted of treason in 1885 and executed by hanging on November 16 in Regina.
