They thought Legislature would be sitting, but anti-pipeline protesters are still planning a huge demonstration on Legislature grounds Monday morning.
Victoria City Councilor, Dr. Ben Isitt, says it will include a form of civil disobedience:
“In some way, the protesters will be breaching what’s called the Legislative Grounds Protection Regulation. It says you can’t stake anything into the ground, that you basically have to follow the rulings of the Legislative Speaker.”
Isitt, speaking on the World Today Weekend, says he plans to attend the protest. Organizers hope thousands will join him.
He warns if the proposed Northern Gateway Pipeline is approved, it will be met with a wall of opposition.
