LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — A COVID-era protest blockade at Coutts, Alta., -- now at the centre of a murder-conspiracy trial -- was getting outside support, including from two members of the Edmonton Police Service, court heard Monday.

A Mountie who infiltrated the blockade posing under cover as a volunteer told court,"We made some small talk there with a lady. Her husband was an Edmonton police member and she was a nurse."He was an Edmonton Police member, and there was another female Edmonton police member there as well, and she had sort of a thick Russian accent," the officer added.

Olienick and Carbert are charged with conspiring to kill Mounties at the blockade, which paralyzed traffic for two weeks in early 2022 at the Alberta-U.S. border to protest COVID rules and vaccine mandates. The officer, identified in court only as HQ1485, echoed testimony from the two earlier undercover operatives that Olienick characterized the blockade as his mission in life and one he was willing to die for.
