Labrador Land Protectors Heading to Ottawa

The Labrador Land Protectors (LLP) are heading to Ottawa.

Matthew Behrens is a member and coordinator of the Ontario Muskrat Solidarity Coalition.

Behrens says the coalition is a group across the province of Ontario who work alongside with and support the LLP.

According to Behrens, the LLP and his coalition are planning on gathering together on Parliament Hill in Ottawa at 11 am on Monday, May 7, 2018.

The gathering is called “See Their Faces, Hear Their Voices”.

They will then be attempting to non-violently enter the House of Commons and place pictures of those they feel are at risk from the effects of the Muskrat Falls megaproject on all 343 MP’s desks.

LLPs expected to be in attendance include Elders Jim Learning and Eldred Davis, as well as Marjorie Flowers.

Angus Andersen is expected to be handing out water bottles of Muskrat Falls’ water containing methyl mercury to MP’S as a statement against methyl mercury poisoning from the project.

The action is in response to the 9.2 billion dollars in funding that the federal government has invested in the Muskrat Falls mega-dam project.

OK Radio will have more on the event, including an interview with Behrens, in the coming days.
