Do you see it yet?

This is what happens when communities stand in the way of major projects.

First comes the pressure.

Then the consultation battles.

Then the evacuation orders.

Then the land is burned, access is disrupted, communities are displaced, and the same development interests remain waiting beneath the ash.

That does not prove who started the fires.

It does make the pattern impossible to ignore.

When First Nations communities resist mines, roads, transmission corridors and resource extraction, Canadians should be asking who benefits from their displacement.

Instead, they are busy yapping about land acknowledgments while entire communities burn.

Follow the projects.

Follow the land.

Follow who gains when resistance is removed.

No one is putting out those fires.
