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.
Countrywide protests and blockades followed a move by RCMP to enforce a court injunction this month against the hereditary chiefs and their supporters, who had been obstructing an access road to a Coastal GasLink work site. Their Quebec visit comes one day after the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs visited supporters at Tyendinaga Mohawk territory to thank them.
One of the hereditary chiefs said Friday his people are willing to engage in nation-to-nation talks with the B.C. and federal governments, but not until the RCMP in B.C. have left traditional Wet'suwet'en territory entirely and Coastal GasLink, the pipeline company, ceases work in the area. The comments came after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau emerged from meetings with senior cabinet ministers on Friday saying that barricades on rail lines and other major transportation routes must come down after two weeks of calls for patience and stalled attempts at negotiation.Two people walk on the closed train tracks in Tyendinaga, near Belleville, Ont., on Saturday Feb.22, 2020, near a rail blockade in support of the Wet'suwet'en who oppose work on a pipeline in northern B.C.
Why is it that chief in the minority are the only ones who are interviewed. Why are the majority of the people ignored by the media. Their story is never told.
Obviously they didn’t take the via rail
What’s the difference between hereditary chiefs, who are against pipeline, and elected chiefs who do want it? And why the hell are they in Quebec? They seem to be causing more problems than solving them.
'Alberta oil for Alberta!!'
I see the main stream media is dutifully staying back from the Railway in Brockville as instructed by the protesters. No tough questions to them. Just standing in their place as they’re told waiting to see if anything happens. What great journalism.
They should have ridden horses if they are so worried about carbon footprints
Holding a 101 class on train derailments?
Aren’t these people supposed to be meeting with Trudeau? Wonder why they’re speaking to everyone except the govt?
Good. They can stay there.
Let's find a middle ground for a resolution to this crisis. We're a small Canadian tech company who've developed a pipeline spill prevention tech with the goal of protecting the environment. If we're going to transport oil by pipe let's do it in a safe way
arrest that vermin
The Quebec blockade has been removed. Why has the Belleville blockade not been removed OPP ?
I thought they were talking with GasLink personnel.
Time to send the military in if the hereditary chiefs can't or won't live peacefully with the elected councils. Holding an entire nation hostage because they cannot agree on their own governance is absolutely pathetic.
What’s wrong with Skype 👀
Did they walk or take vehicle uses oil?
FuK them and the horse they rode in on!!!!!!!
So they arrived by horseback or dogsled and not by means of gasoline powered vehicles? So Damn hypocrisy!
Who paid for the flights? Biased CTV won’t ask.
Big brain trust powwow 😂
They are just getting together planning more disruptions. They aren't interested in resolving anything.
Still not clear what the point here is. 100% “no” to the natural gas line pipe which would be better for the environment than 100’s of diesel trucks with potential for accidents/spills or they just want a better deal? It’s not clear to me.
Is Jody there....
They weren’t impeded?
WGAF. Move em off.
I'm the hereditary PM of Canada. I'm going to order the military to take down these illegal blockades.
Horses must be tired..
How many Canadians are getting tired of the special status of the indigenous people? Is it not time to say we are all Canadians and there is no special status, none! It is the Canadian tax payer who subsidizes billions to keep a two tier society.
It appears all the chiefs are not on the same page. The older generation vs the new generation. Stop the posturing and set up your blockade on Parliment hill. Stop holding Canadians hostage.
Misbegotten foolish bullies the Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs trekking across Canada trying to find some relevance in their meaningless existence. I'm a hereditary King of Sparta and nobody pays any attention to me at all.
Oh goodie

First day at Mohawk College. This will be interesting. The totally peaceful meeting up with the ultimate warriors. I wonder how this ends?
Did they walk across Canada or use carbon spewing aircraft to fly
I wonder how other Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs elected officials in favour of the pipeline feel about these rogue ones going down to Quebec to incite terrorist activity? Fraudulent Canadian media doesn't seem interested.
Quebec can have them!
For what?
Quebec arrest them
Why?
