About two dozen protesters at a railway blockade south of Montreal are continuing to defy an injunction ordering them to leave, while the Quebec premier is calling on the police to enforce the decree.

Police patrols passed by the blockade in St. Lambert, Quebec, regularly overnight but there was no sign of a mobilization on Friday to eject the protesters from the site on Canadian National Railway tracks.
