  1. Guess she will be wearing furs and plants she hunted/forged for since all her current clothing and transportation are made using “fossil fuels” in one way or another.

  2. Neil Young and the others bashing so called Tar Sands oil make it sound as though a majority of western Canada is now a moon scape wasteland that has been ruined forever. So I started looking for it on Google Earth figuring it would be obvious. Unless you know where to look, and then start zooming way way in, it’s undetectable.

  3. Just a bunch of frauds!!! All those rich idiots flying in, driving to these protests. And what do they all burn…… It sure isn’t hope dreams solar or wind!!! They’re hypocrisy knows no bounds

  4. Good reporting, Try not having oil or oil products for more than a couple months. 75% of people would loose there mind. All about protecting the environment but oil is needed as of now.

  5. Overwhelming Our police forces should be considered a terroristic act. Let Fonda and her creeps stand in jail a few weeks. Maybe it is time for our communities too band together with Our law enforcement and deliver some Reality.

  6. Re routing Embridge line 3 tar sands oil pipeline away from White Communities and making it longer in order to route the pipeline through Native American communities, water sources, food sources, and sacred sites is an example of environmental racism enabled by systemic discrimination against Indigenous people of the Americas by colonial federal and local governments of the United States and Canada and corporations whom profit from dispossessing Indigenous people from their land, property, treaty rights, and opportunities.
