Trudeau in talks with cabinet ministers as nation-wide pipeline protests continue

OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was in talks over the weekend with federal cabinet ministers as protesters opposed to a pipeline project in British Columbia continued to halt train service across parts of the country.

Miller said during an appearance on CTV’s “Question Period” political show on Sunday that he believes a peaceful resolution could be reached as he pointed to the Oka and Ipperwash crises as reasons why dialogue is preferable over police intervention. The Trudeau government has been criticized for not doing more to end the blockades, which have been erected to protest the Coastal GasLink project in northern B.C., which is part of a $40-billion LNG Canada export project in Kitimat.

“The underlying issues did not arrive yesterday, they’ve been present in this community for hundreds of years.” Na’moks, who also goes by John Ridsdale, said the meeting was proposed by the neighbouring Gitxsan and the Wet’suwet’en chiefs planned to honour the invitation.

He has to go.

Enough of this media, hero worship of Justin Trudeau. These protests are verging in acts of terrorism... just ask those facing propane shortages. Journalists... don’t you think it’s time to get real

Eco ethonomics

Guessing the meeting willstart off with finger painting then a snack and everyone lay down on the floor for a nap 😴

Junior wants a negotiated settlement with the protesters, even after the courts have told them to get off the tracks and highways. The RCMP won't act because they are scared our wishy-washy weak government won't back them up if things get really heated. Anarchy is not far away.

It's so easy to be a disruptive Trudeau Triggered neanderthal, as so any are in these comments. Modern complex problems are tough. Let the adults deal with it and STFU.

How dare Canadians interrupt this man's nineth vacation of the year! Ungrateful slobs, we are not worthy.

Who?

Lololololol I love this government... what a joke 😂😂😂

He created this by pandering to both sides. Now he's just pissed everyone off.

Wonder what they said in the meeting? Some of the ministers don’t even know what their job is.

Just wait until the West starts to fight; it will be an all out war

😂😂🤣🤣 if it wasn’t so frigging pathetic it would be funny. Completely incredible and incompetent.

Stop wasting your time talking with cabinet ministers. Just call 911 and tell them there are groups of people breaking the law, and that they should go deal with it. Problem solved.

I'm not sure if I should feel relieved or more concerned he's coming back!

How nice - everyone is to appear for show & tell - class begin and Canadians eat it up like candy. /s

Your headline should say “Trudeau can talk, who knew”

Tensions were high at one point in the talks as Blair suggested Trudeau wear the red socks with the white dots. Morneau and Freeland, the more senior Ministers, had been pushing for the use of red socks with black stripes.

On a conference call with Corporate Canada plutocrats.

Incompetent meets with Incompetence...

He SHOULD be talking to the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs.

Anybody anybody Bueller?

Oh, you’re finally doing your job? You finally realized you also have to take responsibility for Canada over your mythic quest for that UN seat that’s been your focus for the last 4 years

Thats a no brainer nothing will come out of it

No actually there counting votes that will determine their answer votes from Quebec vs Indigenous.

transaction costs are high and beyond the threshold. beyond coase but not beyond lubrication. i mean, it's not even the owner of the property rights who has an issue, it's non-stakeholders who are pushing the transaction costs so that the problem cannot be solved.

Cause he has no clue what's going on or what to do

I'm sure his beard will come up with something.

He totally initiated it to stop the pipeline projects.

This is so comforting to know...this talented and experienced lot will save the day...🧐

He cancelled a Caribbean vacation, he must be freakin serious...

Total failure

I invite all Canadians and the media even JustinTrudeau to do the same as I did today Go see the situation first hand for yourself. My conclusion, Canada rail is not moving but it is business as usual on First Nation land. The only people being inconvenienced are Canadians

How this Liberal Govt let this happen in the first place is beyond logic? Thugs in Ottawa and on the Tracks and Canadian tax payers stick paying for both sets of moronic imbeciles.

I’m pretty interested to see what he and his band of merry liberals will do here. I’m almost always disappointed in him but I’m hoping this time, he will do something positive and useful. If there is just a bunch of money given, or virtue signalling made, it’s all over for him.

Talks cheap .. he's a narcissistic man that lacks empathy and is incapable of leading this country. trickytrudeau mustgo

Indigenous Services Minister expects ‘frank discussions’ with pipeline protesters as rail blockade continuesMinister Marc Miller meets with Mohawk community near Belleville, Ont., as protest enters its 10th day Talk is cheap Time to move people who have openly admitted their intent is to block commerce off highways and railway tracks or charge them with economic terrorism Plenty of room to protest elsewhere Supposing I was to protest the “egregious acts of the CRA” instead of paying taxes, would someone from the federal government have a frank discussion with me? The first she should do is remove all the non-native, then remove non-wetsuweten, then those that do not live on the band property.

Minister reports ‘modest progress’ after blockade talks with First NationMarc Miller declined to tell reporters what that progress was, saying he would deliver that message to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau directly 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 This means 0 progress was made. When did we allow the police to decide not to enforce the law or court injunctions? I thought they were legally obligated to do so. It also appears Trudeau simply no longer wants the job. I wish we would have made progress in the last election.
