💨 Abstract
A First Nation in Nova Scotia is blockading part of Highway 102 near Shubenacadie to protest police raids on unlicensed cannabis dispensaries in Indigenous communities. The Sipekne’katik First Nation's chief, Michelle Glasgow, stated that the protest is about the province asserting jurisdiction over unceded Mi’kmaq lands. The blockade has reduced Highway 102 to one lane, and Premier Tim Houston has expressed concern over the illegal cannabis trade.
