The B.C. RCMP has issued a lengthy statement taking exception to a controversial December 20 article in the Guardian.
Among other things, the Mounties have accused the U.K.-based media outlet of damaging relationships with its stakeholders—including hereditary chiefs—that have been years in the making.
This came after the Guardian posted an article with the following headline: “Exclusive: Canada police prepared to shoot Indigenous activists, documents show”.
This was in connection with heavily armed Mounties taking down an Indigenous blockade on January 7 in the traditional territory of the Wet'suwet'en people. The RCMP described the article as “inflammatory”.
Fourteen people were arrested at the time for violating a B.C. Supreme Court injunction obtained by a subsidiary of TC Energy. It’s building a pipeline to bring fracked natural gas to the LNG Canada plant near Kitimat.

If you don’t want something to show up in the news, then maybe don’t do it.
It’s not even the first time they’ve done it.
