@RCMPNS & @DFO_MAR
Where were you when even @JustinTrudeau said “We are expecting the RCMP & police services to do their jobs & keep people safe”
@RussDiabo @Ruth_HHopkins
Yesterday I called @RCMPNS HQ to urge them to prepare to protect Mi’kmaw people in area, as non-native fishers threatening again

Was told they had “resources” there already & would have detachment call me with more details.

No one called, at all

#RCMPisBROKEN
@ArnallLabrador
Called again today
Radio silence still as situation drastically escalating
Concern this will explode exponentially

Nothing on either @RCMPNS or @DFO_MAR feeds
Canada & NS - Radio silence
CALL YOUR MP & MLA

PROTECT #Mikmaw #TREATY PARTNERS IF YOU CAN

Police won’t
