Lol ambush! Well the info is right at the heading of the topic! Oviousely you havent came arcoss the toll bridge. This is for the guys that have been to the bridge where they have set up a protest on crown land about the embridge pipe line as a cover to make money on people that want to hunt that area!

[Ambush]

So right in Houston? How much is the toll?

[Buckman4]

In the 6-9 area ! Search it on google :) http://ca.images.search.yahoo.com/images/view;_ylt=A0S0uPESQ2RSKhcAdRHtFAx.;_ylu=X3oDMTFyYj E1bWFxBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDaW1nBG9pZAMzYjAxZmJiZTQ1YmVi ZGI4M2NhZmRjMjNiZWU2Yjc1ZgRncG9zAzE0?back=http%3A% 2F%2Fca.images.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages% 3Fp%3Dhouston%2Bpipe%2Bline%2Bblockade%2Bon%2Bthe% 2Bmorice%2Briver%26fr%3Diphone%26tab%3Dorganic%26r i%3D14&w=600&h=450&imgurl=www.straight.com%2Ffiles%2Fstyles%2Farticle _main%2Fpublic%2FCOL_Fracking_2365.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.straight.com%2Fnews%2F372686 %2Fpipeline-activists-put-out-call-fortify-northern-bc-blockade&size=256.4KB&name=%3Cb%3EThe+%3C%2Fb%3Efight+against+pipelines+ could&p=houston+pipeline+blockade+on+the+maurice+river&oid=3b01fbbe45bebdb83cafdc23bee6b75f&fr2=&fr=iphone&rw=houston+pipeline+blockade+on+the+maurice+river&tt=%3Cb%3EThe+%3C%2Fb%3Efight+against+pipelines+co uld&b=0&ni=21&no=14&ts=&tab=organic&sigr=130gcasst&sigb=13st3c8bp&sigi=127k612o4&.crumb=cHtV1IaT8cq&fr=iphone

Ah..... the map in the link you provide indicates Houston.............. TEXAS

[Buckman4]

Ya it was just a picture of the bridge and sign where they have it blocked off! Ive heard its not the only place they have been doing it .

[hawk-i]

If its crown land, how can they legally charge a toll? Maybe if its on reserve land.

[limit time]

It would be a frosty day down below, before I would cough up a dime
No way would I give in to extortion!!

[Buckman4]

Yup that is right they cant , but are conservation officers cant do anything about it as i was told when i phoned them up on the first day we came across the bridge! They have a sign up that says stop no access without consent . We had the so called chief come down and talk with us and he said that the hunting was really bad back there , then he went on to tell us he was starting his own conservation for the moose ! Yet after we got turned around some other guys showed up and new about the bridge already said to us dont get him going ! Because they eather paid him money or portion of kill and they got let in.they call it there taditional land lol

[finngun]

are they paying income tax about collected toll money?:mrgreen:

[Jagermeister]

Is this the pack down at Owen Lake?

[Jagermeister]

Say, wouldn't that amount to extortion? I think the RCMP should send in their fraud squad and investigate.

[frenchbar]

the best thing that could happen is for nobody to show up ...

[REMINGTON JIM]

RCMP and the rest are to Chicken Sh*t to do any thing about anything to do with the nature of this PROBLEM - TOO POLITICAL for them ! :twisted: Its all BS ! JMO RJ

[brutus]

beer money for sure

[Buckman4]

Yup that is right ! They are all scared to do anything! Oh well i got what i came for without the indians!

[Captainkf]

I need clarification please. They are on public (crown) land/road/bridge or their land/road/bridge? If it's public, that's against the law. Citizens cannot block a road and charge a toll for any reason. If it's their land, then I don't know what the law states. Please help me understand this!?!?

X2

no idea what this thread is about

[RB2]

Can't stand this NATIVE garbage any more. Fact-Their ancestors were immigrants also. My Family has been here before there was such a thing as Metis. Where my status benefits and rights?

[40incher]

The blockade has been up for months, west of Houston towards Morice Lake. The Indians are local but funded by foreign anti-use groups and trust funds to oppose any and all development in the area. It is illegal but the law does nada.

Extortion is OK, just depends who you are.

[Jagermeister]

They, (the FN group) probably did it themselves. Weren't getting any exposure of late, couldn't find any real explosives and who else would use surveyors tape to bind the bottles, surveyors? Pathetic, just f@$%#^g pathetic!

[Timbow]

Anybody thought about blockading the town side of the bridge and charge them double to come to town? Just a thought :mrgreen:

A group of natives is illegaly collecting a toll on public land, and nobody in a position of authority is willing to challenge them.

Hope that cleared it up :)

[Hunting Seasoned]

Nobody is going to be done about it, if all you do is bitch and don't report it to the RCMP in person and provide statements, photos etc. (Evidence).
Ya they are to closely tied to gov't and it will move at a snails pace. But extorting money from people to access Crown land is something they can deal with without getting court injuctions.

Why are the RCMP not doing something about this extortion?

Oh! Wait - I know why - the are too busy enjoying their careers and the good life (sheep hunting comes to mind) to do something as important as this.......:mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[decker9]

Hmm, are they trying to charge anyone and everyone? Or just people working up there? Heading to morice next week, not sure how it will go when I get there if they try charging me. If its an ileagle blockade, and I fall asleep at the wheel, do 2 wrongs make a right?
