Protest held at a Nova Scotia RCMP detachment over Indigenous-owned cannabis stores
Organizers behind a protest held at a Nova Scotia RCMP detachment say police action against Indigenous-owned cannabis dispensaries represents a continued attack on Mi'kmaq sovereignty. Thomas Durfee says a crowd of more than 100 people gathered at the RCMP detachment in Millbrook First Nation to protest Thursday after Mounties executed a search warrant at a cannabis store in the community and arrested one man. Durfee says the peaceful protest involved free lobster, music and speeches from matriarchs in the community. Millbrook First Nation council member Chris Googoo told the crowd it's important to support the shop owner who is exercising his treaty rights by operating a Mi'kmaq 'truckhouse,' which is a traditional trading post. The Millbrook First Nation member says the community has asked the RCMP not to enforce the Cannabis Act as it works to develop its own independent regulations for selling cannabis. The RCMP said in a statement Friday that police executed a search warrant at 'an illegal cannabis storefront' on Wednesday and seized a quantity of cannabis and unstamped tobacco. Police say the one man who was arrested was released and will not be charged, but that investigators anticipate others will face charges as evidence is collected. This report by The Canadian Press was first published Aug. 3, 2025.
