"Three forest protectors were arrested on Tuesday protecting the old-growth forests west of Victoria, as Canada continues to target with police operatives protecting the interest of destructive industries. The police ops are 's C-IRG, the Community Response Group.

"Mourning the invasion of the squad who arrested the , who were his guests, Elder Bill Jones said, 'We are at the end times of our great forests.'

"Abolish C-IRG said, 'Due to the increasing amount of -led anti-resource extraction movements in British Columbia, the Community-Industry Response Group was born. C-IRG is unique to British Columbia.
