Two people were arrested Friday, as police and protesters clashed in East Vancouver after a group of demonstrators blockaded a rail line next to the Renfrew Skytrain Station.
Members of Indigenous youth collective Braided Warriors identified themselves on social media, describing the blockade as a solidarity action with Indigenous opponents of the Enbridge Line 3 pipeline in Minnesota.
The group erected tents and gathered around a fire, while some put up signs opposing the pipeline or hung red dresses symbolizing missing and murdered Indigenous women.
