I fail to see the point of these protests and first nations complaints. The protesters just want their own way - they are a vocal, anti-democratic minority who don't believe in government or the rule of law. Ignore them, as long as they are being peaceful and not destroying things (of course the media will give them non-stop attention, 'cause it sells news). 

The first nations objectors are only entitled to consultation, and since they have publicly stated that there is nothing that would get them to agree to the pipeline, this defeats any real purpose in talking to them. Again, ignore them - if they want to go through the courts, that's their right, but I doubt if the courts will side with them on this issue, given federal approval and all the attempts at consultation. 

This one is a done deal. Kinder Morgan has undoubtedly prepared for the protesters and will have a plan to deal with them. If Elizabeth May and co. want to go to jail, I can't think of a better place for them.
