Protesters block train tracks near Rivire-du-Loup in solidarity with Wet'suwet'en

A group of about a dozen peoplepiled snow and pylons on the CN Rail tracks in the municipality of Saint-Pascal, Que., about 44 kilometres southwest ofRivire-du-Loup, Sunday morning.

TheSret du Qubec said this section of tracks was closed until around 5 p.m.

The group is blocking the tracks in solidarity with the ongoing conflict betweenWet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs and the RCMP in northern B.C.

Protests sprang up across the country last week after the RCMP began raiding blockades set up by Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs opposing a natural gas pipeline on traditional land.

The police are enforcing aB.C. Supreme Courtinjunction to allowCoastal GasLinkworkers to continue construction on the pipeline.

The $6-billion, 670-kilometre Coastal GasLink pipeline is a key component ofa $40-billion projectannounced by the federal and provincial governments last fall.

In Kahnawake, Que., a week-long blockade onthe Canadian Pacific Railway tracks has forced Exo to cancel service on itsCandiac commuter line.

Another blockade in Tyendinaga Mohawk territory near Belleville, Ont., hasstopped Via Rail service between Montreal and Toronto.

On Saturday, about 100 people gathered in front of Quebec's National Assembly to protest in solidarity.

On Friday, Quebec Premier Franois Legaultonce again calledon Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to act, saying the situation was having a "majorimpact" on the province's economy.
