Blockades an extortion attempt

By Letter to the Editor on March 6, 2020.

Canadians have a legal right to do business without harassment. Blockading of highways and rail lines is a blatant attempt at extortion and those who do it should be immediately removed by law enforcement!

Businesses hurt by the blockades (that are allowed to remain in place) should sue the government for failing to enforce the law resulting in financial losses to their companies! They should also sue the persons putting up the blockades.

Apparently neither Prime Minister Trudeau nor the Indigenous protesters have any respect for Canadian laws!
