Organizers of the Western University want the RCMP and Coastal GasLink fully withdraw from Wet'suwet'en territory.

With near-daily protests and blockades disrupting the Lower Mainland, residents are beginning to see some key faces appearing regularly on their TV screens.

The use of force by police angered Indigenous leaders, community members and advocacy groups who had hoped for a peaceful resolution. New blockades were set up across the country.

The Wet’suwet’en solidarity blockades have shut down railroads and transport lines across the country for more than two weeks.

Hundreds stood shoulder to shoulder as the rally began, listening to speakers express their concerns over the Coastal GasLink project in the Wet'suwet'en Nation and the Alton Gas project on unceded Indigenous land in Fort Ellis, N.S., on the banks of the Shubenacadie River.

Police were called to the blockade, about five kilometres west of Chase, B.C. around 9 a.m.

The transit agency says it respects the right to protest, but that the injunction was a matter of safety for passengers.

Hundreds of people against the Coastal GasLink and Trans Mountain pipelines marched throughout East Vancouver, leading to tense exchanges.

But there was no sign Monday of when such a meeting could actually take place. 

"The demand for anchorages is currently exceeding the availability, causing a backlog of ships waiting to get into port," said the Port of Vancouver.
