TYENDINAGA MOHAWK TERRITORY, Ont. — Protesters have been given until the end of the night to clear a blockade on Mohawk Territory that’s crippled the country’s rail network, according to media reports.
The reports say Ontario Provincial Police and Canadian National informed protesters that they will face an investigation and possible charges if they don’t clear the tracks in eastern Ontario by 11:59 p.m. on Sunday.CN declined to comment on the reported move, and spokespeople with the OPP did not immediately respond.
The barricades are a response to a move by the RCMP to clear protesters who had been blocking access to a pipeline worksite on Wet’suwet’en territory in northern British Columbia. Hereditary chiefs of the Wet’suwet’en Nation oppose the work on their traditional territory, despite support from elected band councils along the pipeline route.
On Friday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said it was time for the barricades to come down and injunctions ordering the tracks cleared to be enforced.Protesters arrive with a Sixth Nations flag to the train blockade in Tyendinaga, near Belleville, Ont. on Feb.21, 2020
