They were "encouraged" to man an illegal blockade by seeing what happened
to their home of Galiano Island which (I believe) MacMillan Bloedel used
to own something likd 75% of.  most of the island has apparently been
clearcut.
   It was their fear of seeing the same thing happen to Clayoquot that
got them into action.  Their father basically provided transportation.

      Yep.

BTW: as far as the blockade preventing people from going to work.. It
costs approximately 1/2 hour per day.  I haven't got an actual time
measurement, but my bet is that it's +- 10 minutes of the mean for 80%
of the days.
