We want the government to act with prudence. ... What is more important, selling our country or holding onto our sovereignty?

I think we are getting stronger. We've opened the debate on these (free-trade) subjects, and the indigenous movement is showing its power again.

We will continue to mobilize and radicalize the protests in favor of life and against the free-trade agreement. There will be neither dialogue nor contact with the government.

And government (to define it de facto, or according to modern prudence) is an art whereby some man, or some few men, subject a city or a nation, and rule it according to his or their private interest; which, because the laws in such cases are made according to the interest of a man, or of some few families, may be said to be the empire of men, and not of laws.

One of the functions of government is to act as a safeguard not just of property but of our liberties.

The federal standards are simply not good enough. If we can't get the federal government to act, then we have to take action in any way we can.
