Terrance Nelson: Canadian courts seek to bankrupt rail blockaders



"You have decided that the government need not do anything, after 142 years, the Government of Canada can continue to do nothing on its legal obligations and CN and the immigrants to our lands are free to continue to take everything from the indigenous people and pay nothing." -- Terrance Nelson

James Edmond,
I have received a letter from F.A. Lee Senior Master regarding costs for CN on the court case. Master Lee writes on July 16, 2013, "I invite the defendant Terrance Nelson as well as the plaintiff Canadian National Railway Company and the Attorney General of Manitoba to make their written submission as to costs in this matter. Written submissions should be addressed to my attention and submitted to the court no later than July 29, 2013."
