In early October 2012, the Council of Canadians endorsed the Tar Sands Blockade in Texas, http://canadians.org/blog/?p=17040.
At the ‘Defend The Coast’ protest in Victoria on October 22, Maude Barlow said to more than 3,500 people, “We have to stand in solidarity with struggles in other parts of this country and in other parts of the continent. A special shout out to the people who are sitting in trees, risking arrest, putting their lives on the line in Texas. We’ve been in touch with the people in Texas and they know this is happening today and they’re very excited and they send their love and solidarity from sitting in the trees high above those bulldozers – and they will not come down!”
