Media have arrived. The police have said that if we don't leave we will be charged with assault by trespass.

The media are here in force. TV, Radio, newspapers. Nicolas is doing great interviews with them. The images are great. Check the website.

The banner looks great hanging from the building. Workers are starting to arrive. The activists are talking to them and explaining.

police have arrived with three cars. <Richard>
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 12:22:01 PM
They are calling the building manager to ask them what they want the police to do. <Richard>
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 12:22:01 PM
They may leave the activists locked or arrest them. They would need to cut the thick chains. <Richard>
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 12:22:02 PM

It's been raining on and off, and thundering a bit, but there's an overhang and we've managed to stay dry.

Radio canada has arrived and is raising the antenna to broadcast live.
by June4forest via twitter 7/27/2009 2:21:28 PM
Minister Normandeau called our campaigner Niclolas and asked him to take down the blockade. He's refused because she has not promised to act
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 2:21:28 PM
Great work everyone ! Keep going, you're doing a great !
by Ioana7/27/2009 2:54:20 PM
Cops just checked out our chains and locks to see how they can be cut ... May try to remove us soon
by June4forest via twitter 7/27/2009 4:02:05 PM
. CTV news showed up with a camera crew. CBC/Radio Canada is still broadcasting live. Montreal Gazette is sending photographer from MTL!

The sun has finally come out in Quebec City - a little warmth for the activists who remained chained to the doors.
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 4:02:05 PM
Supposedly the minister is writing us a letter to say she will meet with us. Not good enough. We want protection of intact forests not talk.

Action is over (though our truck is still blocking their garage). 16 activists are now being held by the police. We hope they get out soon!
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 8:12:15 PM
We rocked this action. The Minister of Natural Resources had no good response. AbitibiBowater had no good response.
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 8:13:01 PM
Both say they want to talk. We don;t need more talk, we need to see them protect the forest. ....Now.
by greenpeaceca via twitter 7/27/2009 8:13:01 PM
The doors of this place of destruction are locked! <Richard>
