A violent axe-wielding mob of approximately 20 individuals descended upon a Coastal GasLink pipeline work site, attacking employees, security, and police officers. One Royal Canadian Mounted Police officer was reportedly injured during the attack.

While the Canadian government and its authoritarian prime minister, Justin Trudeau, were busy imposing a form of martial law on peaceful protesters in Ottawa, a terrorist attack was taking place in another part of Canada.

The Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) were called to the scene of Marten Forest Service Road near Houston, British Columbia shortly after midnight on February 17th after receiving a report from Coastal GasLink security that acts of violence were taking place at their work site.

The report indicated that approximately 20 individuals, some of whom were armed with axes, were attacking security guards at the pipeline work site and smashing their vehicle windows. It was also initially reported that some employees of Coastal GasLink were trapped by the axe-wielding mob, but upon arrival, police discovered that all had managed to safely leave the area.

Apparently, the axe attack was well-planned. When the police arrived, there were several obstacles making their approach difficult.

“Upon police attendance at the 41 km mark, the roadway had been blocked with downed trees, tar covered stumps, wire, boards with spikes in them, and fires had been lit throughout the debris. As police worked their way through the debris and traps, several people threw smoke bombs and fire lit sticks at the police, injuring one officer,” a statement from the Royal Canadian Mounted Police reads.

“At the 43 km mark, an old school bus blocked the road,” the statement continues. “No one was located in this area and with the assistance of CGL, the bus was cleared from the road and police continued on.””When police arrived at the drill pad at the 63 km mark, they found significant damage had been done to heavy machinery, fencing, and portable buildings. Police did not encounter any further blockades or protestors as they made their way to the drill pad nor did they locate anyone at the site. The cost of damage done is extensive as seen in the photos,” the statement concludes.

“This is a very troubling escalation in violent criminal activity that could have resulted in serious injury or death. This was a calculated and organized violent attack that left its victims shaken and a multimillion dollar path of destruction,” Chief Superintendent Warren Brown, North District Commander said.

“While we respect everyone’s right to peacefully protest in Canada, we cannot tolerate this type of extreme violence and intimidation. Our investigators will work tirelessly to identify the culprits and hold them accountable for their actions.”https://twitter.com/markstrahl/status/1494480368606474241
