A CN train travels through Tyendinaga, near Belleville, Ont., on Monday Feb. 24, 2020, after police removed the blockade in support of Wet'suwet'en Nation hereditary chiefs attempting to halt construction of a natural gas pipeline on their traditional territories in northern B.C.

The Conservatives continue to insist that professional protesters are disrupting rail traffic across the country.

During Question Period this morning, Conservative MP John Brassard told Parliament that quote ``The prime minister is taking his cues from the granola-crunching, Castro-loving, V-W bus driving, anti-resource, anti-government, anti-everything professional protesters with absolutely no connections to First Nations groups.''

The transport minister's Parliamentary Secretary replied that the Conservatives' exaggerated tone is only making the situation worse.
