On Thursday April 21, over 100 people rallied against Weyerhaeuser at the Toronto Stock Exchange, demonstrating their support for the Haida Nation’s logging blockades. They came to show that we stand with the Haida and their demands for self-determination, Native rights, ancient forests, and sustainable local economies. Throngs of business people in the heart of the financial district were confronted by the sound of Native drummers, raging grannies, colorful banners, and pamphlets supporting the Haida and exposing Weyerhaeuser as an unethical and unsafe investment.
