Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that this week has been “really difficult” for Canadians amid ongoing rail blockades by people protesting in solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs who oppose the Coastal GasLink pipeline’s construction. He said they would continue to work to resolve the blockades and disruptions to transportation systems through dialogue in a “constructive” way, adding there were no plans at this time to cancel a trip to Barbados next week.
