“it's "definitely an unusual situation" to see an unauthorized dam, and the regional district isn't sure who built it since dams are under the jurisdiction of the province.

I stand shoulder to shoulder with the Mi’kmaw. 💪🏼

Houston does not care about the environment, he does not care that we are in a Climate crisis, he does not care what the Mi’kmaw Chiefs have to say.

He cares only about selling off natural resources.

It feels like history is repeating itself. 😔😔
