Gateway blockade

In March 2009, concerned citizens blockaded the demolition of a house in Surrey, BC, Canada that stood in the way of freeway construction. For more info see http://www.gatewaysucks.org

Thanks to Bernadette Keenan for the non-congestion footage!

The song is "Year of the car crash" by Warsawpack

soi exactly where is this filmed with the heavy traffic

[badfreeway]

it was filmed at 124 st & 116 ave in surrey, in the path of the planned south fraser freeway, and as you can see there is currently very little traffic there.

I get the impression from everyday people that they are tired of being walked over. And regardless of the mass media blowing smoke up Campbells back side people have a real view of whats going on. Great vid :)
