While Durman was careful to point out that council can- not promote the idea of civil disobedience, he said he felt it would probably come to that point and that there were ways for council to support that stand. “To gain greater public support, public knowledge, I think some form of media event will need to take place,” he sad. “Somebody suggested cut- ting off the water and sewer, well, maybe that’s something we will do. Maybe the ferries will have to go to court and get a judge to order them to turn them back on again . that’s a (different) form of civil disobedience.” Councillor Jehn Clark said council had not taken the posi- tion of imposing legal action, but did say that they hadn’r ruled anything out at this time.
