The RCMP denies it conspired with a natural gas pipeline builder and a private security firm in a campaign designed to harass Wet'suwet'en people off their unceded territory in northern British Columbia, court filings say.

The RCMP, Coastal GasLink and Forsythe Security, named as defendants in a lawsuit three Wet'suwet'en members launched last June, all deny the allegations.

Police increased enforcement after an "escalation of unlawful activity" that included a violent February 2022 incident involving mask-wearing, axe-wielding assailants at a pipeline construction site, the filing says. Plaintiffs Janet Williams, Lawrence Bazil and Sleydo' allege the defendants used intimidation, harassment, invasions of privacy, seizure of private property and unlawful detention in a bid to suppress law-abiding, constitutionally protected activity.The events at issue unfolded at remote camps known as the Gidimt'en Checkpoint and Lamprey Village, both situated near the proposed pipeline route along a remote northern B.C. logging road.

The minister says Mounties have seen structures at Lamprey Village that were later used in a November 2021 blockade, and says a blockade at the Gidim'ten Checkpoint was previously established despite the injunction.In a Nov. 1 amended response, Coastal GasLink also denies the allegations.

Cause they definitely haven't done it in the past.

Well, they aren’t really going to admit that.

spoam so what cost all those $$$ then?

You didn’t mention Justin Trudeau in a good light in this article. No bonus for you cbc

LevisBecker I have a very hard time believing anything the rcmp says, denies, does or otherwise. There record speaks for itself… Reform is needed.

If it's unceded, then any military force could just invade & the Canadian military shouldn't intervene.

RCMP and cbc are crooks.

In other news, sky occasionally blue.

The RCMP Gestapo and the CBC Propaganda 'it's a match'

The majority of the Wet’suwet’en were in favour of the pipeline. Was the cbc complicit in the media campaign to deny their wish’s ? The blatant racism of imposing a white led campaign on the people was well gross.

Sounds about right to me. Cops have become strong arms for corporations. They don’t mind acting like tough guys when needed either

RCMP and CBC....liars!

Remember the media is not your friend!!!!

Let's check their record: 'Their lawyer produced evidence that the RCMP bombed a wellsite and that they did it with the full support of the energy company that owned it. The Crown admits the allegations are true.'

More propaganda lol

When police lie, who do you trust?

Why is the CBC refusing to put any reporting resources on dangerous abuse & harassment that these pipeline workers are facing? Why not report that most FN people in this area support the CGL line? You truly are the place where journalistic integrity goes to die!

'The $6.6-billion Coastal GasLink pipeline project is designed to carry fracked natural gas to a $40-billion LNG terminal,' Love the framing so you know that human rights do have a dollar cost to consider 😒

And i have a bridge for sale

where's your investigation into why no charges have been laid into the pipeline attackers?

Yeah, because it wasn’t the wet’suwet’en l people who were protesting. You had some random title stealer(title from its rightful female owner), and a bunch of tides foundation paid protesters. Mostly radical left white liberals.

Oh well, that's OK then, if the police said so. /s

Doing their job investigating a violent mob doing millions in damages is not harassment.

Of course they would.

I think the folks who were harassed where actually the pipeline workers that where assaulted, and still un solved

That’s some stupid ass lie against the RCMP. I wonder who started that.

trudeau is trying every way to end FOSSIL FUEL here in Canada 🇨🇦, the RCMP don't act on their own, HITLERS rise to power was aided with the STURMABTEILUNG, the RCMP have become trudeaus STURMABTEILUNG

The RCMP are a Racist Sexist filthy corrupt political lap dog for the natural resource industry raping Canada.

You mean the same RCMP that trampled Canadian citizens in Ottawa

Are you talking about the same RCMP that sabotaged farm equipment in Coults Alberta and the same RCMP that trampled Canadian citizens in Ottawa

this is actual progress.

So, has the RCMP become like the CPS in the TV Series called: 'Continuum' ? CPS stands for: Corporate Police Service.

Irresponsible to use what the RCMP said in the tweet. They should not be using public money for such PR. Or harassing people. Need unbiased independent investigation into this.

The RCMP has had a long and cordial relationship with Indigenous people based on mutual respect. This reported conspiracy is highly unlikely.

of course not

One year of training per officer is no use if you use it for junk like this.

I'd be more interested in a report on the climate activists, likely Trudeau gov't funded, that caused $millions in damage to the Coastal Gaslink camp.

Fossil fuels are a cancer in so many ways.... and I think Canada should be finished with RCMP

History tells us that the dishonest and liars are the greedy corporations. All probability is that the Wet'suwet'en people are telling the truth.
