Or do they really believe the the judicial system in Ontario and Canada will take punitive action against our homegrown terrorists? I would say when push comes to shove the courts will refuse to hear the case or they will hand down a wishy washy decision about land claim negotiations being jeopardized, etc.CN Rail sues native protesters over rail blockades

CN Rail has launched a lawsuit against aboriginal protesters after two blockades halted rail service in eastern Ontario.
CN is seeking unspecified damages following blockades on CN's main line in Deseronto on April 20 and for a similar blockade last year in nearby Marysville.
"CN has commenced action against parties engaged in an illegal blockade of CN's main line in late April," Mark Hallman, communications director for CN Rail, told CTV.ca on Wednesday.
"As a consequence we're seeking recovery of damages which the company incurred as a result of this blockade."
This year's protest began before dawn on April 20 near Deseronto, Ont., some 30 kilometres west of Kingston.
Several dozen Mohawks from the Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory lit bonfires on either side of the track and parked a school bus on the rail line to block traffic.
The blockade was orchestrated to protest plans for a 140-home subdivision on land the natives claim belong to them.
The protesters were served an injunction obtained by CN Rail that day ordering their immediate withdrawal from the site or face arrest.
Screw you and your injunctions.....
