An abuse of process hearing for three people found guilty of criminal contempt of court for blocking work on the Coastal GasLink pipeline in November 2021 is being adjourned until June.
A police officer told a judge Tuesday that RCMP were worried about weapons, booby traps and partly felled trees when enforcing an injunction against blockades of construction work on the Coastal GasLink pipeline in November 2021.
RCMP officers referred to First Nations pipeline opponents as "orcs" and "ogre" during a police raid at a blockade of Coastal GasLink pipeline construction in November 2021, according to audio recordings played in court Wednesday.
