Protesters blocking the landfill south of Winnipeg say their resolve is stronger after a man shoveled soil & debris on a MMIWG mural near the blockade.

The blockade went after Manitoba refused to fund a search for the remains of 2 Indigenous women.

@likelyjanlukas Good one - thank you for sharing that link! 🙂 I tried (half-heartedly) to find the video of the protester / hater shoveling dirt onto the MMIW mural (link not in news items), but gave up. I track far-right persons of interest (past, present, future) - e.g. Freedom Convoy personalities, as the odds are they'll reappear in some context. 👍 Victoria 🙏 🌞 Edit: they always "apologize" when caught / identified, always. #hypocrisy #hatred #MMIW

You're welcome! 🙂

And yes, I will not be surprised if this individual pops up again. ☹️ Such apologies usually ring loudly of being sorry they got caught, not sorry they did a terrible thing. 🙄
