The blockade of highway 138 erected by members of the Innu community protesting against the construction of hydro transmission lines across ancestral lands was forcefully cleared from the roadway Friday night as 13 of the resisters were arrested. The blockade against the $6.5 billion La Romaine hydro project started last Monday.
A demonstration in solidarity with the Innu people and against the Plan Nord is scheduled for this Monday (tomorrow) at noon starting from Square Phillips, in Montreal.
