This weekâs broadcast coincided with the Emergency Day of Action â Solidarity for Elsipogtog on December 2, 2013. The call was made by HWY 11 Land Defenders. Hwy 11 is the site of one of the encampments in Miâkmaq Territory where Miâkmaq peoples are protecting the water from Houston Based company SWN who are trying to conduct seismic testing for fracking on unceded Miâkmaq lands. The RCMP are attempting to repress resistance to fracking there, through harassment, violence, and arrest.
Malcah spoke with a representative of decLINE9-Cataraqui for an update on local solidarity actions in the Kingston area. decLINE9 Cataraqui is a grassroots group based in Kingston, Ontario on contested Mohawk (Kanienkehaka) and Algonquin (Anishnabek) territory. The group is âdedicated to resisting the proposed reversal of the Line 9 pipeline, a project that would see Tar Sands Oil carried through this land, from Sarnia to Montreal.â
