Update 10am:

Provincial police have arrested several people at a rail blockade near Belleville.

OPP moved in this morning, after an 11:59 deadline last night for protesters to leave was not carried out.

Police had given those blocking the crossing, who are standing in support of those protesting a pipeline project in British Columbia, until that time to leave.

Originally from southern Ontario, Jason found his way here and fell in love with the community and music scene of Thunder Bay over twenty years ago. In between various stints on radio, television and writing, Jason is a dad, a partner and (some would consider) a zoo keeper (seriously, he has a LOT of pets).
