Trudeau calls for end to protests crippling Canada railways

https://news.yahoo.com/trudeau-calls...204449949.html


Dakar (AFP) - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Wednesday urged a swift end to indigenous protests disrupting trains in Canada as police readied to clear tracks.


The demonstrators forced the cancellation of hundreds of passenger and cargo trains over the past six days, in support of Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs fighting the construction of a natural gas pipeline through their traditional lands in westernmost Canada.


Speaking during a visit to Senegal, Trudeau said the right to protest was fundamental to democracy, but added that the rule of law must also be respected.


"That is why I am encouraging all parties to dialogue to resolve this as quickly as possible," he said.


Trudeau has made reconciliation with indigenous peoples a key priority of his government.


Jagmeet Singh, an opposition leader, called on the prime minister to end his overseas trip and meet with the chiefs. "Across the country, the situation is escalating," he said.


Police have warned protestors to leave a key rail corridor east of Toronto, or risk arrest.


Ontario Provincial Police spokesman Bill Dickson told AFP they are "monitoring the situation" near Belleville, Ontario, while attempting to coax protestors off the tracks.


Over the past week, protestors have blocked roads, rails and ports on both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts, and occupied government offices in a bid to "shut down Canada."


Via Rail has said more than 24,000 passengers have been impacted by disruptions along a rail line connecting Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal.


Canadian National Railway, meanwhile, said it would be forced to "shut down significant parts of its Canadian network imminently" unless the rail blockades were removed.


"It's all Canadian supply-chains" that are being impacted, CN chief executive JJ Ruest said in a statement, citing as examples containers carrying consumer goods, grain, deicing fluid for airports, construction materials, and commodities.


CN, the third largest railroad in North America, moves an estimated Can$250 billion (US$190 billion) worth of goods across Canada each year.


The blockade near Belleville has cut off all rail traffic between eastern and western Canada, and between eastern Canada and the US Midwest. Another protest has effectively shut down CN's northern British Columbia mainline between Prince George and Prince Rupert.


The protestors are demanding that police vacate Wet'suwet'en territory and the scrapping of the Can$6.6 billion (US$5 billion) Coastal Gas Link natural gas pipeline.


Elected indigenous band councils along the 670-kilometre (415-mile) pipeline route support the project, but hereditary chiefs who say they hold title rights expressed concern over its potential environmental impacts.


Their arrests in raids last week by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police enforcing a court injunction to stop blocking access to workers building the pipeline became a flashpoint for protestors.

i bet "blackie trudeau" caves in like a pussy and give them the land. he doesn't have the balls to use the legal resource i.e. police forces to clear them out.
I'd tell the motherfuckers to get off the fucking railroad tracks or get run over.

Just so you know....
Some US folks are supporting a few of the tribes with various logistics delivery and supplies

Those above that have an issue with the tribes have no fucking clue what the underlying reasons are.

Here in the states, Federal law requires the gov to buy at a fair market price other folks land.

All the protests are just a shakedown for more money. The Canadian oil sands industry is selling it's product at a huge discount owing to the pipeline bottleneck. For all we know the Saudi's are funding the protests to prop up the price of oil via restricting alternate supplies.

If the day comes and we need the oil, we will pay those fuckers off and get the oil moving.

As an investor in American oil companies such as XOM and CVX, companies that get pipelines built across Texas in less than a year, I laugh at the BS that actually helps my investments.
