Protesters continue to chant, sing and drum in the middle of the intersection

VANCOUVER (NEWS 1130) — About 300 protesters are blocking the intersection at Cambie Street and Broadway in an anti-pipeline demonstration.

VPD say there are about 250-300 ppl there. Officers will stay and monitor as long as protesters remain. The department usually doesn't release plans of possible arrests citing safety reasons. Mon. morn., police arrested dozens at the @PortVancouver after a similar wknd. protest. https://t.co/Aw5PNCTgBg — Sonia Aslam (@SoniaSAslam) February 12, 2020

One protester says they have a message to share with everyone, but in particular, the Wet’sewet’en hereditary chiefs who oppose the natural gas pipeline in B.C.

“This is to thank them for their strength because they are standing there holding that line under the threat of lethal force, under the threat of death,” says one protester. “War crimes are being committed in Northern B.C. right now. We’re here to say no more – no more murdering our women, no more taking our land, no more taking our children.”

This comes after RCMP began enforcing an injunction in order to allow construction of the 670-kilometre pipeline project to proceed, resulting in several arrests of people opposing the pipeline in northwest B.C.

Local police are there trying to navigate drivers around the demonstration, but they ask people to avoid the area if possible. For now, TransLink has also diverted the 99 B-Line at Broadway and Main Street.

Police says the demonstrators are showing their support of the Wet’suwet’en people who are against the natural gas pipeline in the northwestern B.C.

They add there have been no arrests as of 10 p.m. Tuesday.

During the demonstration, some protesters started making their signs in the middle of the road, writing “no trespassing on stolen land,” and “RCMP stand down,” while others are sitting on blankets in the intersection.

Similar protests were held over the weekend in Vancouver bringing in hundreds of supporters.

In Victoria, hundreds of people are gathered outside the legislature, also in support of Wet’suwet’en. That demonstration led to the cancellation of the Inspection of the Guard of Honour earlier on Tuesday.
