As tempers on Burnaby Mountain flare between protesters and duty-bound Mounties, the mutual respect behind the scenes is evident between three First Nations RCMP officers and several elders who are helping maintain a sacred fire within the zone ruled off-

    So called headline has nothing to do with the story posted. The story tells of mutual respect towards a native tradition.

    FFed's racist tendencies are showing again. It's funny, being a "Survivor" fan and watching a really really gay player be the most obnoxious misogynist racist asshole, I just couldn't understand how someone who faces those things can outwardly show those things. But my next door neighbor, who is gay, said that gay people tend to be the worst racists. 8O

    It really made no sense to me.

    white protesters - cart them off, put them in jail if they return. Red protesters - we revere your special status within in Canada. What a bunch of racist bullshit. The white protesters should plant a cross at the site.

    The fire was moved with shovels, but remains within the exclusion zone and is tended by elders from the Squamish and Tsleil-Waututh First Nations because �they weren�t protesting, they were just present� to bear witness to Kinder Morgan�s work, Buis said.

    B.C. RCMP�s Aboriginal Policing Services unit were called in to calm tensions and ensure a safe environment for officers and First Nations protesters

    Uhhhhh what? So they're "making it safe" for FN protesters but the three dudes with the fire aren't actually protesters?
    Sooooo can anyone who is "just present" blaze up a li'l campfire without the police getting uppity about it or do they have to be of a certain ethnicity?

    Geez, I grew up on the slopes of Burnaby Mt. in the 60s.
    R\n dune buggies, VWs and power wagons on the trails. Had a friend LIVE in a stump up there for a month while we found him a home cuz his Dad beat on him.
    Had lots of drunken stoned campfires in the bushes there.
    Never met one single native growing up in N Burnaby or saw anything remotely "sacred" there.
    The back roads to the tank farms where we parked with the girlfriends were about the closest....
