An indigenous-led anti-pipeline protest has shut down a vital cross-continent rail line in Canada, disrupting freight and passenger service and costing millions of dollars in lost revenue, officials say.
The Mohawks of Tyendinaga are protesting the 416-mile, $4.68 billion (6.2 billion Canadian dollar) Coastal GasLink pipeline running from northern British Columbia to a natural gas facility near Kitimat, B.C. They’ve used snow plows, barrels and wooden barricades to block the tracks, forcing Canadian National Railways to temporarily close the line.
Protests in Ontario have also taken place in support of the indigenous chiefs.
