In Ontario’s north and south, Indigenous groups protest new laws designed to fast-track infrastructure

Indigenous demonstrations against both the federal and Ontario governments unfolded at multiple sites across the province Tuesday, as protesters rallied against initiatives to fast-track major infrastructure projects.

As far north as the Attawapiskat River, which flows into James Bay, and as far south as Queen’s Park, Ontario’s legislature, protesters gathered in separate demonstrations to push back against two laws recently passed at both levels of government.
