— Alberta’s justice minister said Saturday that he expects protesters who have barricaded a fuel distribution terminal southeast of Calgary as part of a labour dispute in Saskatchewan to obey new enforcement provisions that were added to a court injunction against the demonstration. While all Canadians have a right to protest in a legitimate fashion, breaking a court order is a violation of the law,” Schweitzer said in the release. The roadway was temporarily closed to all but business-related vehicles on Thursday night in order to remove barricades. Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe has said he’s prepared to appoint a special mediator to end the lockout, but only if the union removes its barricades.
