In April, the FNLC warned that if the NDP proceeded without their “free, prior and informed consent”, First Nations would pursue every available avenue. These included not only legal and political actions, but direct action too. That naturally raises the spectre of blockades and other disruptions, as seen during the Coastal GasLink protests of 2020.
