Travelers looking to go to Ottawa or Montreal from Toronto by train today will unfortunately not be able to get where they're going.

Demonstrators opposing construction of the contentious Coastal GasLink pipeline in B.C. gathered at the CN Rail tracks near Belleville this morning, causing VIA Rail to cease train service for routes passing through the Marysville stop. This includes 20 trains scheduled for today.

Hello train 66 has now been cancelled.
The following trains of Feb 7, 2020 have been cancelled: 645, 66, 651, 40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 47, 50, 51 (between Ottawa and Toronto), 52, 53, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65. ^MC

VIA says in a special statement on its website that "none of the trains" on its Toronto-Montreal or Toronto-Ottawa routes will be operating "until the issue is resolved."

Protesters, who are from a community in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory, came with vehicles, flags and signs reading "#RCMP get out" and "Indian land."

This comes a day after six activists were arrested by RCMP officers near a key pipeline work site around Wet’suwet’en First Nation members' 39 km checkpoint camp.

The 670 km gas line will cut through Wet’suwet’en territory in the north of the province, where peaceful protests have been ongoing. Anti-pipeline rallies in solidarity with Wet’suwet’en and their constitutional right to manage their land have also been taking place in cities across the country.

The Mounties recently vowed to use "the least amount of force necessary" to remove protestors in their enforcement of a court injunction to permit GasLink access to recommence work near the 39 km camp. The company had previously established agreements with 20 elected First Nations band councils along the route.

3/ We remind the provincial and federal governments, Crown, and RCMP that Wet’suwet’en assert continuous jurisdiction and unextinguished rights and land title, and that the ongoing police actions infringe on their constitutionally protected rights. #WetsuwetenStrong #bcpoli
