Now, a SWAT Team has the St. Lambert Rail Blockade surrounded. Time: 4 pm Friday.
Prime Minister Trudeau said just now in a press conference: "The barricades must come down now."
Trudeau said the possibility of an Oka situation developing had been one reason for the delayed action in regards to the rail blockades.
At the rail blockades, Wet'suwet'en Solidarity said at 4 pm, "There is a line of 8 cops with batons down the tracks."
"Many cops in area, streets currently blocked."

CBC reports at 4 p.m. on Friday, "Longueuil police closed St-Georges Street, which crosses the train tracks near a rail blockade on Montreal's South Shore on Friday afternoon.
"Clad in black ski masks, several officers are standing in a semicircle near the makeshift encampment and media has been pushed back from the site. A mobile command post is also parked nearby, with about a dozen other police officers milling around it.

"The protesters have been told to leave the site by 5 p.m."

In the news:
“The barricades must now come down. The injunctions must be obeyed, and the law must be upheld,” Trudeau said, adding later in French that it would be “lamentable” if police need to step in to clear the blockades.
