Hundreds of people blocked the Rainbow International Bridge in Niagara Falls on Feb. 16, 2020 in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en Nation. TORONTO -- About 200 people stopped traffic at Rainbow International Bridge in Niagara Falls, Ont. on Sunday afternoon in protest of what they call an “invasion of the Wet’suwet’en Nation” due to the proposed pipeline in British Columbia.
Protesters held signs that said “what about the next generation,” “reconciliation is dead” and “stand with Wet’suwet’en.” “Given its position on the proposed pipeline, the use of RCMP, development of an exclusion zone, refusal to negotiate in good faith, and treatment of the press – the Canadian government has fundamentally failed to live up to their obligations to meaningful nation to nation relationships,” the news release said.
Demonstrations have erupted across the country after the Royal Canadian Mounted Police moved into the Wet’suwet’en territory and arrested pipeline protesters. A blockade near a rail line in Tyendinaga Mohawk territory, near Belleville, was erected more than a week ago.
if only we had an agency that was to enforce the laws of the land with all of us equal
Introduce Them Fools To The Undertaker
Over half of them are probably US citizens that were schemed up by ford and kenney when they went to washington last visit. Kinda coincidental that a week after they get back this shit starts
Why don’t you talk about the Wet’suwet’en people that WANT this pipeline Why not talk about the other 20 bands, that’s TWENTY, that want this pipeline.
Get lots of fire trucks and rubber bullets
These people are totally insane!
more foreign influence !! Shut them down and send them home! Where is the RCMP
how does stopping traffic support the wetsueten ?
Lol. They need jobs
Who is protesting the tankers of Saudi oil that come into Canada on a regular basis? No one! Because they aren’t being paid to do that.
Throw them in jail.
They think it’s a joke.
This is just getting Ridiculous
So frustrating to watch our government do nothing!
Hey Trudeau how about stop sending their wellfare checks every month see
My bet is that 90% of those morons have not a clue what the hell it is they are really protesting.
Border should arrest them
Protestors supporting the anti-Wetsuwetan action fify
'HI, HOW ARE YOU'? 'HI, HOW ARE YOU '? 'HI, HOW ARE YOU '? 'HI, HOW ARE YOU '? 'HI, HOW ARE YOU '? 🥁🥁🥁🥁
Why not😡apparently it's all okay😡
What a sham!
So HTF is it that the LameStreamMedia conveniently leave this out of their ‘reporting’ instead they get the same idiots on trying to justify the protests?
If the east don’t want pipe lines don’t build them let them get there gas and oil and propane and every thing else from some where else the hell with them
They are not protestors they are criminals .
Arrest them! Who is running this country?
Arrest these freeloaders.
Tides foundation group has Butts on the payroll, time to wake up. They are also paying these morons blocking trains. Trudeau could care less about this country.
Uh. They were supporting thenchiefs but in opposition to the councils and members.
Any protestor that is not part of this FN should be arrested and removed. Whether theyre FN or NFN. No FN person I know who wants to work opposes this project. And I am and know a ton of FN people.
FuckWetsuwetenStong
Conveniently right outside the Duty Free
CTVVancouver Misguided is a kind way to express my real opinion..
Time to start arresting these people
Climate terrorists.
Let’s see how long this goes on for. Buses of eco activists came up for the US.
Mob rule. Congrats Ontario.
Call in the U S military if Canada can’t resolve the situation! Lol
They just using blackmail as only reason to be terrorists is so the get more free taxpayers money to squander on booze and drugs!
a pipeline. what exactly are they opposing? not pretty looking? oil spill? it's just a pipe. it's not like someone with a grand scheme to move another million Asians into your community. that would be a big concern.
Start taking action
Don’t the border guards have guns ? Is this not a treat to our nation ? Arrest them all and if they are Americans never let them back into Canada ever again . This is getting fucking ridiculous 🤬 If you don’t want oil and gas , don’t charter buses, walk !
Indigenous people need to step aside and allow the privileged educated people of Canada whitesplain to them why they should be enraged about this immoral infrastructure for transporting resources.
The protestors know what city all of the head offices of all of the oil companies in Canada are, right?
Nothing will change until the people take the law into there own hands. The Govt and RCMP took part in making this happen, they do not exist to serve Canadians. Your civility has become your weakness.
When is CTV going to interview and investigate who these protesters really are? doyourjob
I feel sorry to the waitstaff, bartenders, casino dealers and everyone else in the service industry at the Falls that are going to be sent home losing hours and pay due to tourists not being able get there or avoiding it because of the protests.
Quick give them something else to get angry about. I liked 'occupy' better. Green peace. Climate change. Aliens. Everything is old. They need something new!
So turn off there pipe lines to there houses boom doing there part no
I'll fix your headline. 'Protesters supporting 5 of the 13 heritage chiefs that don't care about the 85% of Wetsuwenten band members, all elected band councils, and the other 8 heritage chiefs that voted for the pipeline'
Why do CTV, Global and CBC keep lying calling these thugs supporters of the Wet'suwet'en? They are doing this against the wishes of the majority of the Wet'suwet'en. You're lying CTV. Stop lying.
Water cannons
They will leave another big fcuking mess.... 🖕 gogetjobs oilandgas
Why does media keep referring to them as “supporters?” They are working against the interests of the Wet’suwet’en. That’s hardly support.
The only people who should have any say on this issue are the majority of Hereditary Chiefs and First Nations on the pipeline route itself and who voted overwhelmingly in its favour Not the few Hereditary Chiefs who voted against it or the self serving activists exploiting them
... road blocking ... is this Ontario gov't going to do something about it? finally a law that makes it illegal?
This is pretty low how are we supposed to get over the border to get carbon tax free gas and cheap beer .
An Indigenous Nation divided as it seems.
Enough is enough. These protests have got to stop.
Aladdin Watch 2020 It's Sunday in the Magic Kingdom!! Barbados Should be Warmer & Much Less Hectic LOLOL 🤡👀🧔🥔 TotalClownShow ✈️🌴🧦😜 Team Train Wreck! 🤡 2.0 TrudeauJr PeterPanPM MagicKingdom
CTVVancouver Now its in your backyard! Still being double standard? Good luck.
As a whole, us hairdressers are terrible people. But we have a code that we stick to. It's not complicated. 'You don't fuck with other people's money.'
RossMcleanSec Just go buy old beat up cars and push through.
CTVVancouver Throw all these losers in jail and charged them. If they are from USA they should be deported and barred from future entries.
Hose them down.
Who are these paid protestors?
Buses came from the US
This is getting out of hand
I wonder if these same protesters were to go to the wealthy classes areas if the government wouldn’t enforce laws😉🤔
Paid protestors....oooh....ahhhh....what a farce this is. Shut it down already. Freedom of speech...YES. Tolerating physical blockages and intimidation.....NO. This isn’t okay. End it.
Losers
Protesters aren’t supporting Wet'suwet'en, they are OPPOSING the MAJORITY of Wet'suwet'en that support LNG and want jobs and all the benefits that come with prosperity. DoBetter
Who are paying these protesters? We know they don't have jobs and none of them look ambitious enough to protest. Where is the funds coming from? FollowTheMoney
🥰 Thank you WetsuwetenStong
Clearly they lied to cross the border!
Is this the bus from Illinois? US paid protestors? What a farce.
Arrest them
Ça c’est pas bon
