It seems some native Canadians aren't happy with the rule of Canadian law and decided to turn to violence, fire bombs and shooting to make their point.

The RCMP said some protesters threw Molotov cocktails, and at least five police cruisers were destroyed. A former Elsipogtog chief told the Globe and Mail that "everybody got mad" after the arrests and that Mounties chased the crowd to a line of police cars. She reported seeing six in flames.
At least one shot was fired at Mounties, the RCMP said.

The clash between the RCMP and the Elsipogtog First Nation, north of Moncton, began early Thursday morning when a large number of officers arrived at a compound where SWN Resources Canada stores equipment. The police intended to enforce an injunction against a native blockade that has prevented SWN, a natural gas and oil exploration company, from conducting seismic testing.

Mounties arrested at least 40 protesters at an anti-fracking blockade in New Brunswick after police cruisers were torched when RCMP moved in Thursday morning. Mounties said at least one shot was fired by someone other than police and Molotov cocktails were thrown at cops.
The RCMP is also investigating other suspected explosive devices.
