Consider, for instance, the decision to drive a logging road into Hasty Creek in the Kootenays, which drew a blockade of 280 people in this rural area, and the arrest of 84 of them Sept. 6.

The blockade grew out of the fact that the public process with the Ministry of Forests and the logging company did not provide meaningful safeguards to preserve water purity or permit any liability of the parties concerned with building the road. These were
