PM Trudeau talks about the blockades, says 'Injunctions must be obeyed'

BY , Feb 21, 2020 9:22 PM - REPORT AN ERROR

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau speaks with media as he leaves his office following a meeting of the Incident Response Group in Ottawa, Monday February 17, 2020. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Adrian Wyld

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says it's been two weeks and now it's time for the barricades on rail lines and other major transportation routes to come down.

He says in a democracy, people have a right to have their say but the situation is "unacceptable and untenable."

The blockades, particularly one on a critical east-west rail line in Ontario, are responses by Indigenous people and supporters of the hereditary chiefs of the Wet'suwet'en Nation who oppose a major natural-gas pipeline project.
