Prime Minister Justin Trudeau delivers a statement in the House of Commons on Tuesday, Feb. 18, 2020, regarding infrastructure disruptions caused by blockades across the country.Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for patience and warned against the use of force to resolve the ongoing rail blockades by Indigenous-rights protesters during an address to Parliament Tuesday.
During his speech, Mr. Trudeau said his government remains open to discussions with First Nations to address their concerns. “The need for reasonable, reasoned debate in this place is at the centre of what we have to continue to move forward with as a country," he said. Mr. Bellegarde also warned ignoring First Nations rights and jurisdiction creates conflict and court cases while peace and prosperity result when rights are respected.

globepolitics Force is what’s needed now ! JustinTrudeau
globepolitics Remember Oka? What exactly did getting heavy-handed accomplish there? Zero. It just exacerbated a local issue into a national one....and put our soldiers in an impossible situation.
globepolitics From now on if anybody has grievance they're just sit on a railroad track...very serious precedent being set
globepolitics Please get on with improving the lives of Indigenous Peoples. They feel betrayed - and rightfully so after 4 years of lip service - and will continue to protest until they are treated respectfully. If Trudeau cannot do it then he needs to step down and allow someone who can.
globepolitics Cons calling for a heavy should be a warning about what future con governments will do to protestors
globepolitics Blockades are not protests. Blockades are a violation and a force which require an equal and opposite force. Blockades are a clear and present danger to the lives of many. We need a leader, not the leader of this mob.
globepolitics Racism is strong in the comments. Use of force is not necessary and thank the RCMP & OPP for not acting sooner. Toronto police & OPP delt with G20 consequences for years after the fact. It’s a delicate situation.
globepolitics Prime Minister Donothing was dragged back to Canada finally. This Crisis could have been avoided had he the balls to act 2 weeks ago. We have elected a spoiled boy with no experience & on his father’s name. Now Incompetent people hold important positions based on gender & race.
