Const. Timothy Atchison, Fort St. John RCMP, in court today, saying the quiet part out loud.

"Media relations officers [...] have specific training on how to disseminate information without giving too much"

Remember the story about the RCMP vehicles set on fire in Smithers? There was an interesting document produced by the Crown. The RCMP's internal report on the incident assumes they were under sophisticated surveillance, because the arson occurred at the exact moment between shift changes.

Today, as Gaza continues to be stuck in a bloody limbo, we are turning our website over to Gaza and its people in an initiative we are calling “A Day for Gaza.” There will be no pieces published on our website today that do not come directly from Gaza.

Day 16 recap. Back on my routine. Carol Linnitt, editor of the Narwhal stayed on the stand. Media is going to get access to all the exhibits. Justin Brake in gallery, all the way from Newfoundland and Labrador.

RCMP will likely be on the stand rest of the week

The Narwhal is suing the RCMP for arresting Amber Bracken while she was embedded with land defenders in 2021. This morning don lemon was arrested for embedded with protesters. The Crown arguing right now to be able to make the same type of arrests in Canada

Counsel for the Attorney General of BC: Being shot at by the police is not a Canadian experience.

Maybe not a Canadian experience, but certainly an Indigenous experience.

Narwhal vs AG of Canada Day 12.
Remarkable line of questioning, suggesting that Bracken does not have solicitor-client privilege. Crown wants to read messages which may contain legal advice. At issue, to crown is the fact that she's a freelance contractor, not employee. Therefore

Day 11. Pugliese finishes, Bracken back on the stand. Crown counsel correctly pronounces Haudenosaunee, but struggles with Brandi Morin's last name

Crown suggested today, on the morning of the Coyote Camp raid, Bracken could have emailed the RCMP and asked if she was allowed to remain embedded.

Cameron, lawyer for Attorney General of Canada, properly pronounced Haudenosaunee, almost got House of Skiy ze', but mispronounced Brandi Morin, as MoRAN. Bracken firmly pronounced her name properly on the stand, to correct him.

Karyn Pugliese on the stand today: CAJ was only able to challenge the Fairy Creek injunction, because of the way protesters were locked in. It allowed time for a legal application. Which just isn’t available when injunctions are usually granted.
