National Canada protesters mount fresh rail blockade, PM Trudeau says disruptions unacceptable By News Desk Posted on February 19, 2020 2 min read 0 0 671 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on Google+ Share on Reddit Share on Pinterest Share on Linkedin Share on Tumblr Canada protesters mount fresh rail blockade, PM Trudeau says disruptions unacceptable Canada protesters mount fresh rail blockade, PM Trudeau says disruptions unacceptable Demonstrators opposed to a Canadian energy project on Wednesday started blocking a western rail line, adding to pressure on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to solve a two-week protest that is harming the economy. Trudeau, who insists his government will not use force against the protesters, toughened his language on Wednesday, calling the disruptions unacceptable. A group of around 20 people blocked a Canadian National Railway Co rail line near Edmonton, the capital of the western province of Alberta. “They’re on the CN property, and we’re working with the CN police to resolve it,” local police spokesman Barry Maron told the Canadian Broadcasting Corp. Television footage showed the group standing on the rails behind a banner that read “No pipelines on stolen land.” The company said it was assessing legal options. The blockades pose a delicate challenge for Trudeau, who says one of his main priorities is to improve relations with Canada’s marginalized and impoverished indigenous population. “This government is working extremely hard to resolve this situation. We know people are facing shortages, they’re facing disruptions, they’re facing layoffs – that’s unacceptable,” Trudeau told reporters in Ottawa.
