Activists have been crossing the border all night, and known activists with minimal arrest records are making it through the border at Jackman all day. We have little information about activities in Canada, but we have recived calls back that people are getting to the convergence center there. The deal that demonstrators struck with Canadian has fallen apart. Activist from both sides of the border will not be allowed to meet in the customsarea of the Canadian side of the border. Banners, flags, and chants are everywhere.
Atmosphere is festive and jubilant.
The caravan to Akwesasne has now arrived. Its a sunny day and spirits are high- good friends and good fish being had by all. Several journalists associated with the Maine Independent Media Center have successfully crossed the border to provide the Maine IMC with video and audio footage from the protests in Quebec. The pace of activists arriving is quickening. At least 100 protesters are expected by this evening and up to several hundred more by Friday morning.
