Police are preparing to end a demonstration in Ontario by members of the Mohawks of Tyendinaga that has shut down traffic through one of Canada's busiest rail corridors. Calling the situation "dire," Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) officers on Tuesday warned demonstrators set up along CN Rail tracks near Belleville, Ont., to clear the area or face a raid and arrests. The demonstration began Thursday in response to the RCMP's recent enforcing of a court order in B.C. Earlier in the day, three OPP officers in civilian clothes stood across a fold-up table set up on the rail tracks by the demonstrators. The impromptu meeting followed an appearance by an Ontario Superior Court enforcement officer who was escorted by the OPP to read out a court order prohibiting continued interference with railway operations.
