    I'm directly behind them on this – if it's taking place in their land, they should be involved in the permit process and selection committee. It's a reasonable ask, and I hope the courts side with them to set the precedent.

    Je déteste mon gouvernent de tout mon coeur. Ils devraient être retirés avant qu'ils ne fassent plus de dommages.
