USE ME! Essentially, this is a catch all for everything. This is probably the ONLY category where things that are not directly related to Rising Tide affiliates/allies should go. For example if a coal company goes out of business (and we didn’t directly cause it) it should probably only go here.

CANADIAN ATTACK ON MNN AT CORNWALL BORDER CROSSING
Elder Abuse? Yes!
Anti-Indigenous violence? Yes!
Anti Free Speech? Yes!
ATTEMPTED MURDER??? Maybe.
A consistent pattern of violence? Definitely.
Exclusive to MNN by Ieriwa’on:ni [“Her thoughts become the way”]
This report has been written in consultation with family members and with direct witnesses to the events described.
The rumours circulating on the internet are true. MNN has been forced to suspend its reporting and investigative work because of a vicious and unprovoked attack on some of its principal writers, investigators and managers. MNN’s website was also attacked and was reportedly down for three days.
MNN WOULD LIKE TO THANK EVERYONE WHO WANTS THE TRUTH.
