Considering half (if not MOST) of them probably don't even know why they are protesting, or the REAL ideas behind it and the "No Games on Stolen Land" slogan. On their website, they claim that ALL of BC should not exist (they refer to Vancouver as Coast Salish Territories, not Vancouver). It, in their view, can not legally exist, nor should it legally be part of Canada. All of BC should belong to the native people, still. So, in OTHER words, everybody protesting stole land to live in a house from the natives.
Now, it is obvious Chris Shaw does not actually believe in anything he says, but this was a rather interesting angle to go at.
