      Why does the article not state why the contents were seized and what the warrant was related to.

      FN’s doing weird sketchy shit as usual selling potentially illegal shit and gets raided like any other store would…. then they BLOCAKDE a road to protest the fact they should be allowed to be above the law (as they already are treated differently)… fucking ARREST the blockaders as well. im so sick of the FNs. The moon doesnt go across the sky in a canoe, you are no longer „stewards of the land“. All of them need to become Canadian citizens, paying taxes and no more special handouts or leniency in the courts.

      Government should freeze their bank accounts, isn’t that what they do in these situations?

      Blockading highways and telling the duly elected Premier and his ministers that he’s not allowed on their land.

      There’s no other nation on earth where this would happen

      Ahh yes. FN doing illegal crap then crying foul when they’re caught and enforcement is required. Stop breaking the law and you wont get in trouble.

      Before colonization First Nations could stop by the local smoke shop for some weed without being harrassed by the white man.

      Took a drive to penticton. I think the area was swan lake. Might be wrong. I just remember going through the reserve and counting all the trailers that were now pot shops. Just derelict trailers on filthy properties spray painted with pot store signs.

      That’s too bad. I fully support FN’s right to open dispensaries. If only the products complied with HC regulations! If they did, I would 100% **only** support FN owned cannabis stores!

      Bank accounts need to be frozen. Fringe labels need to be called out.

      There’s no such thing as unceded land. If you aren’t living there, and I am, it’s ceded land. Full stop.

      In this thread: people who aren’t from here claiming to know fuck all about the situation. Tim Houston came out and tried to sell this by claiming the natives are spiking their weed with fentanyl.

      It is not about upholding the law, it is about money. In Nova Scotia, several reserves are becoming independently wealthy due to the amount of traffic they are pulling. The only reason they are popping off so hard is because our government until recently was charging over $10 a gram for average weed vs $50 Oz of whatever you like from the res.

      My local shop feeds poor people, invests in community infrastructure and employs nearly 10 people. The vehicle traffic they generate has literally created new supporting businesses in the form of gas stops, restaurants, markets and cultural days in what were formally some of the poorest areas in one of the poorest parts oft he country. Our current priemiere is another in a long line of small minded idiots who couldn’t run an ice cream stand.

      I’m a white man who thinks that for the health of our province, there should be some kind of compromise as we do need the tax dollars. However, Tim Houston trying to poison the well and and equating the natives as supporters of violent crime and adding fentanyl to their products to get kids hooked is why most folks around here will side with the FN.

      Edit: whatever the fuck bone to pick you have with your local FN in Alberta has nothing to with what is happening in Nova Scotia right now.

      According to 23andme I am almost 20% Native American.

      Next time I have a problem with a law I don’t like I’m just going to block a random highway. 

      I also happen to be gay and immigrant, and a linguistic minority. 

      Jesus Christ I am so oppressed, just let me do whatever I want already. /s

      The CBC is CBC’ing hard, because its First Nations issues of course:

      *RCMP have been cracking down in recent months on what the police force calls “illegal” cannabis stores, seizing products largely from stores located on First Nations and issuing tickets.*

      Really CBC? Is it the police force calling these shops “illegal” or is the law calling them illegal, and for which a case for such was presented to a judge or JP in the form of a warrant, that was reviewed and signed off on?

      Gimmie a break. Everyone knows they are selling weed illegally. Go do your jobs and do some investigative journalism for once.

      The *real* story here is that we have a group of people blatantly breaking the law, and after warrants were executed (signed off by a judge or JP), this group of people created an illegal blockade, trapping police cruisers (valuable community resources that will now sit unused – and potentially vandalized) and will open it once the police have returned their seized illegal weed.

      You can’t have a set of laws that apply to some folks and not others.
