ST-LAMBERT, Que. — A blockade south of Montreal that halted rail traffic and frayed nerves since Wednesday was abandoned late Friday after riot police arrived to enforce a court injunction.
Then at around 10 p.m., a spokesman wearing a ski mask and sunglasses announced the rail blockade in St-Lambert, Que., was ending but said the fight was not over. Emotions flared earlier in the day as the protesters dug in next to Canadian National Railway tracks despite being served with an injunction Thursday that ordered that the site be cleared. Quebec Premier Francois Legault called for the injunction to be enforced “rapidly.”
Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs oppose the Coastal GasLink project that would carry natural gas to the B.C. coast, though others in the community support the pipeline. “Let us be clear: all Canadians are paying the price. Some people can’t get to work, others have lost their jobs,” Trudeau said. “Essential goods … cannot get where they need to go.”
Now, lets roll this “program” coast to coast. Quebec showed good leadership here!
the anarchist Left recognizes only the force TrudeauWorstPM TrudeauMustGo
this is the way to go! Well done Quebec👍
Poor Canada has been reduced to a bananarepublic under PMSpicoli and his incompetent 🤡 posse.
Is anyone surprised that the province that hates Turbans and Hijabs would send in riot police to deal with protestors? Guess the protestors were endangering Quebecois 'culture'.
Bravo!
Now arrest the organizers and financiers who are backing most of these protests Very few of them have been spontaneous and so far none has had a damn thing to do with the Wet’suwet’en First Nations community itself
Canada JustinTrudeau liberal_party ... Where is the faux outrage? Where are the disqualifications?
Good on you guys. Needs to happen everywhere.
In their hearts this is what the protesters really wanted.
So brave.
About time they were forced to move! Get the others removed as well
Correction: In solidarity with dissident 4/13 hereditary chiefs from the same family(0 elected chiefs or the community). Get your facts right stop stirring the pot! A great factual article.
They cant afford to be arrested because they wont be allowed back into Canada anymore
Wow shocker, it worked. People scared of police
Tofu fighting to commence🕺💃🙏👏🤣😍at a love pad or dumpster.
Now we’re getting somewhere !
Funny how that works. A non-confrontational option may be to have the police get the names of the protestors & remind them that prior blockades resulted in successful law suits for lost wages/damages. Skin in the game.
Protestors turned tail and ran away lol cowards.
Who would have thought that enforcing the rule of law would disperse these protestors. Go figure 🤔
And of course being as concerned with the environment as passionately as these “protesters” are, they no doubt left all their garbage behind. canpoli
So who cleaned it up ...
Staunch about their activism aren’t they.
Good for them. Not a clue why these people are blocking railways out East in the first place just ridiculous. Go Quebec Go!!!!
U mean the liberal millennials ran away with their tails between their legs... hope the little snowflakes didnt melt away.
So Quebec was just about out of propane again. The question is not why should we leave but why should we stay. wexit.
They just had to show up...🤣
This is now a matter of life or death. People are going to freeze and die. Bring in the army just like senior Trudeau did back in 1970 to crush the FLQ.
Quebec is different and they make their own rules. I know, I used to live there.
Yet Quebec intends to develop 1 Million Acres of A Natural Gas Deposit which will require a large PIPELINE network to be BUILT IN QUEBEC Hypocrisy
Doug Ford has a difficult job So, every move he makes is severely criticized Doug Ford is Ontario's punching bag Ontario's electorate is too fickled Liberals reduced to a nonstatus party, NDP and Greens are useless, Conservatives are bashed every day, There is nobody else!
It is my understanding that the withdraw was peacefully negotiated.
A little too late.
Only Quebec is allowed.
About god damn time! Arrest these criminals!
OK Doug, it’s our turn now ...
Now, how difficult was that?
There is dialogue and then there is dialogue 💪🏼
Kenny or Ford would be lambasted by the media if such a move was instructed.
Paper tigers 🙄
Large fines and jail sentences should be handed out, because like mister fraidy pants with the ski mask says these blockades will just keep happening! JustinTrudeau francoislegault AndrewScheer
It's a start albeit so late.
gerarddeltell Aucune arrestation, une invitation à recommencer
Could of been done from the beginning
I bet if Doug Ford had been the first premier to send the police in, he would have been raked over the coals by everyone including the pm.
I'm sure francoislegault had something to do with this. Bravo! It's about time!
Well done Quebec!
Masked spokespersons threatening to re-establish blockades in the future? Organizers being paid by purported Canadian 'charities?' Criminal conspiracies must be criminally prosecuted and the people who solicited a crime and paid the participants must be sued for civil damages.
