This action is undertaken in support of the ongoing blockade, in Montréal-Est, of the supply of diluted bitumen to oil tankers from the largest pipeline in Quebec, Enbridge’s line 9B.

According to the Montreal Gazette:

A group of protesters who chained themselves to the Valero oil terminal in Montréal-Est on Wednesday to denounce the Enbridge 9B oil pipeline were arrested and released on a promise to appear in court, the group Collectif Antigone said.

But the occupation of the site continued into Wednesday night, as temperatures dropped to 5 degrees C.
