After the meeting, Trudeau said, “I understand how worrisome this is for so many Canadians,” said Justin Trudeau after his meeting about the protests and blockades. “We are going to continue to focus on resolving this situation quickly and peacefully.”
Earlier, a press release stated, "Following the government’s ongoing efforts to address infrastructure disruptions across the country, the Prime Minister will convene on Feb. 17 tomorrow to discuss steps forward. Our priority remains the safety and security of all Canadians and the swift resolution of this issue. To restore service across the rail system in accordance with the law."

Reconciliation Is Dead. Revolution is Alive.by Unist'ot'en Camp
Canada invades. Invades on behalf of industry. Invades during ceremony. Canada tears us from our land. Tears us from our families, from our homes. Takes our drums away. Takes our women away. Jails us for protecting the land, for being in ceremony, for honouring our ancestors.
On February 10, RCMP invaded unceded Unist’ot’en territory, arresting and forcibly removing Freda Huson (Chief Howilhkat), Brenda Michell (Chief Geltiy), Dr. Karla Tait, and four Indigenous land defenders from our yintah. They were arrested in the middle of a ceremony to honour the ancestors. Police tore down the red dresses that were hung to hold the spirits of missing and murdered Indigenous women, girls, and two spirit people. They extinguished our sacred fire.
We have had enough. Enough dialogue, discussion, negotiation at the barrel of a gun. Canada comes to colonize. Reconciliation is dead.
It is time to fight for our land, our lives, our children, our future.
Revolution lives.
