On Saturday, the chiefs traveled to Kahnawake, Que., to visit the Mohawk community there. One of Montreal’s commuter train lines has been shut down by a blockade in the Kahnawake Mohawk Territory outside the city.
“We’re already at a point beyond frustration, it’s more like confusion,” the chief said Saturday. “Mr. Trudeau is saying it’s up to us, but we’re saying right from Day 1, RCMP vacate the area and then there’s going to be some talks and some possible paths forward on this situation right across the country.”

He’s so ineffectual. He can’t do squat.
Sorry but isn’t we always proud to tell everyone THAT NO ONE IS ABOVE THE LAW .... IT LOOKS TO ME THESE PEOPLE DO NOT CARE ABOUT IT ...,,
Where are the elected chiefs and why are they not speaking out?
good
And check out the story behind one of those you use in this picture!!
Quebec nerds propane.
The soap opera between Canada's two founding nation, English/French, and the owners of Canada, all aboriginal tribes. Jacques Cartier discovered Canada in 1534 as he was trying to reach Asia, but the Americas were in the way.
Anyone think that Saskatchewan will be given the ok to do whatever to clear the rails like Quebec was given? Not a chance - Truscumbag has two separate sets of rules
Hereditary Chiefs are fake Chiefs. Only the elected Chiefs are valid spokesmen for the community. These fake chief are countering the will of their fellows as was expressed by the Elected Band leaders who approved the project.
The very height of ignorance: blockading in support for a small aboriginal minority who would rather wallow in poverty than accept a wealth-creating project that would probably improve the lot for everyone.
Dumbass John Horgan and inept BC NDP/Greens are to blame for this mess.
Virtually the entire country is fed up with a couple dozen people, terrorists actually, holding Canada for ransom. (Criminal code S 83.01(1)) I am SO fed up with natives using terrorist tactics to hold Canada for ransom. Reconciliation? I hope not after what AFN has done!
He’s three weeks late with his latest whisper-voice platitude salad. He’s lost credibility with citizens and protesters. They just don’t take him seriously as he has no plan or solution.
Gravy Train... still room, All Aboard!
Threaten them with paying taxes they will stop blocking the lines !!!!!!
Yeah but the real story is they want more money. $1.2BN wasn't enough.
There were protesters today at Queen's Park, and traffic delays and the PM asked yesterday to end the blockades and now new ones are popping up
How do you remove them peacefully? Answer : Water Cannon!
Maybe temporary cut their cheques off? And Trudeau should look at alternatives for where the pipeline can go elsewhere if possible. We can't destroy that may never return.
A feckless PM said something and no one listened Shocker!!! arrestthem
Like anyone listens to Trudeau the fool.
Dialogue is futile when the extremists have seen our gov’t’s weakness firsthand. We need a vote of non confidence to topple this impotent gov’t!
Time to stop all transfers of taxpayer's money until law and order return.
Not really a surprise. Trudeau is too busy trying to exploit this for his own gain to have any credibility and he still hasn't even bothered addressing the Wet’suwet’en First Nations community itself Almost like he doesn't give a damn as long as it suits his partisan agendas
Mafia
But Trudeau told them to stop!!! shutdownCanada cdnpoli
No matter what you do, it will pop up somewhere else. End the $12,000,000,000.00 pipeline subsidies and invest it in permanent renewables jobs in the West, especially First Nations
