Former People's Party of Canada candidate Mark Friesen played what he said was a recording of an Indigenous elder speaking in favour of the pipeline project.

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.

Her comments come two days after Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's press conference on Friday. He said some protesters in support of the blockades weren't there because of a commitment to reconciliation.

The blockade is the latest act of solidarity with Wet'suwet'en hereditary chiefs opposing the Coastal GasLink pipeline project through their traditional lands in northern B.C.

Even as he called Friday for police to enforce injunctions and bring down the barricades, Trudeau stressed the need for a peaceful resolution and worried about the potential for another Oka.

Wet'suwet'en hereditary chief Woos told the media he hasn't heard from Minister of Indigenous Services Marc Miller since Friday's press conference.

The traditional chiefs visited supporters in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory and Kahnawake, south of Montreal, this week, saying their conditions for talks remain the same.

Ellis Ross says he is "very concerned" about the risk of violence against Indigenous people.

Demonstrators confronted each other across rail tracks in Saskatoon. Police kept them separated.
