On Thursday, activists organized demonstrations across Canada — including at the entrance of the Port of Vancouver — after RCMP began enforcing an injunction to remove protesters from impeding the Coast GasLink pipeline construction site on unceded Wet’suwet’en territory in northern BC.

Six activists were arrested on Thursday morning and sent to the RCMP detachment in Houston, BC.

Those demonstrations continued Friday afternoon.

The injunction from BC Supreme Court from CGL was issued earlier this year, and it orders protesters to clear the way and move obstructions for workers.
