Wet’suwet’en chief loses contempt appeal after citing Indigenous law - The Turtle Island News

The B.C. Court of Appeal says a Wet’suwet’en chief found guilty of criminal contempt for violating an injunction can’t use a “novel” claim that he was following Indigenous law when he violated a court order. Chief Dsta’hyl, also known as Adam Bernard Gagnon, appealed his criminal contempt conviction after he was found in violation of an injunction to prevent protesters impeding work on the Coastal GasLink pipeline in 2021. The Appeal Court’s ruling says Gagnon raised an “uncomplicated” defence, claiming he shouldn’t be convicted of disobeying the injunction because he was “compelled” to do so under the Wet’suwet’en law of trespass. The ruling says the chief wasn’t asking the court to condone his conduct, but sought to be “excused from liability” based on evidence heard about the Wet’suwet’en trespass law

‘Dances With Wolves’ actor Nathan Chasing Horse sentenced to life in prison for sexual assault - The Turtle Island News

By Jessica Hill LAS VEGAS (AP) — A Nevada judge sentenced “Dances With Wolves” actor Nathan Chasing Horse on Monday to life in prison for sexually assaulting Indigenous women and girls. A jury had previously convicted him of 13 charges, mostly related to sexual assault of three women. Accusers and their families told Judge Jessica Peterson they continue to suffer from the trauma caused by Chasing Horse, 49, and struggle with their faith after he exploited his position as a spiritual leader. “There is no way to get back the youth, the childhood loss, my first time, my first kiss, the graduation I never got to have,” said Corena Leone-LaCroix, who was 14 when Chasing Horse assaulted her. “The life that little girl could have lived has been taken from

Five-year jail sentence for woman who killed partner - The Turtle Island News

By Bob Mackin, Local Journalism Initiative Reporter, Prince George Citizen A five-year jail sentence — one year more than the mandatory minimum — was imposed on a woman convicted of manslaughter with a firearm. Lona Lynette Cole, 53, learned her fate in BC Supreme Court in Quesnel on April 9, almost a year after Justice Marguerite Church found her guilty of killing her intimate partner, Robert Douglas, with a single shot from a Winchester rifle at his rural home on July 6, 2020. Cole had been charged with second-degree murder of the 58-year-old, but Church had reasonable doubt because she lacked intent and planning. She found her guilty of the lesser and included offence after determining there was a reasonable inference that Cole was either unaware the rifle was loaded

'Gravy plane': Ontario buys used $28.9-million jet for Premier Doug Ford - The Turtle Island News

By Liam Casey Ontario taxpayers are footing the bill for a $29-million private jet for Premier Doug Ford’s use, a purchase critics say is a waste of money. The premier’s office said the province bought a used 2016 Bombardier Challenger 650 jet for $28.9 million. It will operate out of Toronto’s Pearson International Airport. The plane is expected to be operational by the end of July, Ford’s office said. “As part of the job of being premier of Ontario, there is extensive travel within Ontario, a province twice the land mass of Texas,” Ford’s office wrote in a statement. “This is in addition to travel across Canada for Council of the Federation and first ministers’ meetings, which have increased in frequency, as well as travel to the United States to
