Kinder Morgan seeks criminal contempt charges against land and water defenders | The Council of Canadians: A court appearance was held on Monday April 9 for about 25 people arrested on Burnaby Mountain, including May and Stewart.
Another hearing for another group of those arrested is reportedly set for June 6. Between March 17 to 24, more than 170 people were arrested by the RCMP for trying to stop Kinder Morgan from proceeding with tree cutting at the terminal.
Yesterday, Kinder Morgan asserted in court, "The respondents’ conduct satisfies not only the test for civil contempt, but also the test for criminal contempt in that they each engaged in a deliberate, public and flagrant violation of the injunction order. May and Stewart’s contempt is exacerbated by the fact they are elected officials (and in May’s case a lawyer) and ought to serve as role models that uphold the rule of law.”
