May 7 Coast Salish Territories (Vancouver): Truck belonging to Kiewitt & Sons lit on fire.

by Anonymous
On the night of May 7, 2008 we set fire to a Kiewitt & Sons work truck. Peter Kiewitt & Sons is currently working on expanding the Sea to Sky highway between Vancouver and Whistler, the main artery for the Olympics, also paving the way for investment into land exploitation, tourism and development.
May 7 Coast Salish Territories (Vancouver): Truck belonging to Kiewitt & Sons lit on fire.

On the night of May 7, 2008 we set fire to a Kiewitt & Sons work truck. Peter Kiewitt & Sons is currently working on expanding the Sea to Sky highway between Vancouver and Whistler, the main artery for the Olympics, also paving the way for investment into land exploitation, tourism and development. This is not the first act of resistance to PK+S and hopefully not the last; in 2007 people occupied eagle ridge bluffs to prevent its destruction by the Sea to Sky highway. PK+S filed an injunction causing the arrest of camp occupants and the imprisonment of Squamish elder and warrior Harriet Nahanne who died shortly after suffering illness in prison.

PK+S constructs the spaces that house many institutions of physical as well as social control including; air force and navy operations centers, mines, dams, highways, and industrial nuclear experimentation facilities. This act, for us, was an attack against repression and those who construct its systems.

The Eagle Ridge Bluffs occupation and arrests took place in 2006 not 2007.

Harriet's last name is spelled "Nahanee" not "Nahanne".

Shoot, now the only way to deal with that spelling error is for them to go out and do the action again and issue a new press release...
