The Via Rail train from Montreal will be late arriving at Union Station tonight. Sunday night the train was stopped at Kingston because the aboriginal Idle No More campaign was blocking the main line near Belleville. Train 647, which has been stopped there since shortly after 6 pm and the length of the delay seems uncertain. The blockade is part of the Idle No More movement. Similar protests and gatherings were held across Canada Sunday, in support of Attawapiskat Chief Theresa Spence, who is on a hunger strike. One demonstration (inset) was at the Eaton Centre. Via Rail officials are asking passengers to check their website or call the hotline at 1-888-842-7245 before heading to the station. Late Sunday evening it was said the train was “moving again” although it was not clear just what that meant.
