The largest demonstration of civil disobedience in Canada was expertly profiled last week during a provincial tour by the folks who made the Fairy Creek film. The tale of the blockade began in 2020, lasted almost two years and drew protestors to logging roads on Vancouver Island. Over a thousand were arrested.
