Environmentalists, union members, First Nations protesters or anyone who engages in illegal blockades and occupations should be taken to court and sued to recover the costs of their actions, Ontario Opposition Leader John Tory said today.
Tory said organizers should be forced to bear the costs of protests like the lengthy Six Nations occupation in Caledonia, last month's rail blockade by Bay of Quinte Mohawks in Deseronto or Thursday's occupation of a Hamilton factory by frustrated workers.

Policing the 15-month Caledonia occupation has cost the province tens of millions of dollars, while last month's 30-hour blockade of a rail line in Deseronto paralyzed passenger and freight traffic between Toronto and Montreal.

I, for one, am ready to defy this proposed Hitleresque laws by the Harpocons. I hope someone is able to challenge it in supreme court.
