But experts say it will be a long road to progress as politicians and police navigate an already strained relationship with Indigenous groups. Over the weekend, Indigenous Services Minister Marc Miller visited the railway blockade in Tyendinaga Mohawk territory, near Belleville, Ont., where he said he made “modest” progress after a day-long meeting with the Mohawk Nation.
Stone, who spent the weekend reporting from the Belleville blockade, noted that police are being careful with how they engage with protestors. Conservative Leader Andrew Scheer has criticized the Liberal government’s response, suggesting that the government should order the RCMP to put an end to the blockades.
