EDMONTON—A blockade has been set up on a Canadian National rail line on the western edge of Edmonton in support of Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs who oppose a natural gas pipeline in British Columbia.
A group called Cuzzins for Wet’suwet’en says in a news release that it’s staging the protest in solidarity with the chiefs. It says the protesters “intend to maintain the blockade until Prime Minister Justin Trudeau intervenes and the RCMP leaves Wet’suwet’en territory.”
