WET’SUWET’EN 

VIA Rail has cancelled most of its routes as protests in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs continue.

It’s an expansion of earlier train closures between Toronto and Montreal after Tyendinaga protestors barricaded rail passage.       

Protestors in Wet'suwet'en territory are fighting the construction of a pipeline on their traditional territory.

The BC Supreme Court has passed an injunction barring people from blocking access to the BC legislature.

It came one day before a planned Saturday protest in Victoria to block access to government buildings.

Government security officers have been allowed to arrest people for disrupting access.
