Breaking: “Mi’kmaq of PEI stand with you #Wetsuwenten #ShutDownCanada” gathering at Confederation Bridge PEI. Photos: Gilbert Alex Sark said” we are not blocking the bridge, we are slowing traffic down, for now” 
Sark confirmed they will be at the bridge for 24 hours on both sides (PEI and NB),”We stand together. Join us today ... please come and join us.”
Confederation Bridge crosses the Northumberland strait linking PEI and NB. It opened in 1997 and is Canada’s longest bridge. About 4000 daily traffic. Sark said “there are people coming from NS and NB to form a blockade in the NB side.” @APTNNews
1. Regardless of which side of the debate you’re on re #Wetsuwenten, the demonstration/blockade (or whatever you want to call it) at the legislature yesterday did what demonstrations are supposed to do -raise awareness and apply pressure to power.
2. It got a massive amount of attention and has many asking what this complex dispute is about. In particular, it may have inspired some of the major media outlets to dig past the “law and order” stuff to actually explain what this is all about.
