‘There are clear steps to de-escalation’: Miller

Canadian Minister of Indigenous Services Marc Miller addressed the House of Commons during Thursday’s Question Period, and said the opportunity to continue the dialogue with the Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs is a “positive development” and that there are specific steps that the government needs to take for de-escalation as railway blockades continue to shut down rail service across the country. Demonstrators are protesting by putting up the illegal blockades as a show of solidarity with the Wet’suwet’en, who oppose the Coastal GasLink pipeline running through their territory in B.C.
