In November of 2021, the RCMP raided a land defender camp in Wet'suwet'en territory with assault rifles and chainsaws. Over a dozen people were arrested, including photojournalist Amber Bracken and documentary filmmaker Michael Toledano.

What are the details? Scott lays out the landscape of the lawsuit, context surrounding it and, finally, his take.
