Police are methodically arresting peaceful protesters on the rail tracks

Seven arrests so far. Nobody is resisting. Police are dragging protesters off tracks #Wetsuweten #onpoli #TOpoli #canpoli

Police are preventing people from entering and threatening media with arrest if we stay by the tracks

We've been pushed past the fence under threat of arrest. Land defenders are calling for aboriginal liaisons to be present before any more police action

#TPS is joined by the fire department. Media also present. ~80 people present. Land defenders on tracks reiterating they are unarmed and peaceful #Wetsuweten #onpoli #TOpoli #canpoli

About 15 more protests have walked up behind to join blockade. About 35 people on tracks, including kids #Wetsuweten #onpoli #TOpoli #canpoli

Land Defenders are hunkering down. Coffee and snacks being passed over the fence. They are here for the long haul. Last arrest was 20 mins ago.
