“I have seen a disturbing video in which two young residents in my constituency were arrested with undue force." — Stikine MLA Nathan Cullen
VICTORIA — Cabinet Minister Nathan Cullen is challenging the RCMP over its handling of protests at the Coastal GasLink pipeline, claiming police used “undue force” in arresting two of his constituents.
“I am writing today as a resident and MLA for Stikine regarding enforcement behaviour by RCMP in furtherance of a court order in my region,” wrote Cullen in a letter Friday to RCMP commissioner Brenda Lucki.
Trans Mountain says the recent heavy rainfall caused a 'settlement' adjacent to the Mary Hill Bypass, forcing two lanes to close for commuter safety.
Westbound traffic is only partially getting through along a major Port Coquitlam route for a third straight day.
An apparent "sinkhole" is believed to be the reason for the continued closure on the Mary Hill Bypass between Shaughnessy Street and United Boulevard and has been brought to the attention of many groups, including one against the construction of the Trans Mountain pipeline (TMX).
