It's up to FN to get their act together and presented a united position. How the hell is government supposed to deal with a people who can't even agree among themselves.

Government (BC) is supposed to consult with Aboriginal title holders, and they haven't yet. Premier Horgan preferred an injunction and RCMP raid instead. Now that he sees where that got him, he seems to be  moderating his tone somewhat:

Horgan has rejected calls from the Opposition Liberals to seek immediate injunctions to end the blockades and protests in B.C.

"We can't just use force," he said in the legislature. "It needs to be dealt with by co-operation, by consultation, by discussion so that we can all move forward."
