PIPELINE PROTESTS

For all the bellyaching about nanny state mask mandates and climate-change armageddon, the biggest threat we face today is rooted in the earnest and ardent political activities of those who have convinced themselves they can't possibly be wrong.

Many of the protestors traveled from the northeast “to act in solidarity with Anishinaabe peoples here in Minnesota,” according to a news release.

BEMIDJI, Minn. — After firmly locking his neck to the chainlink fence surrounding the Enbridge office building Monday morning, Aug. 19, Kieran Cuddy grabbed his banjo and began to sing. At times, he sang so loudly he was nearly shouting. Another protester, Laura Botero, held a megaphone mic up to Cuddy’s mouth, amplifying the lyrics that spoke of threats to the environment. Several others danced on the asphalt driveway in front of a backdrop of posters that read, among other things, “Stop Line 3.”
