It’s really telling when they say that the energy companies and the unistoten are in some sort of discussion. From everything I have read, they are NOT in discussions with them and as this article states — they have visited the unistoten camp over 90 times…trying to intimidate and harass them.

Police officers have booked up hotel rooms in Smithers and Burns Lake in preparation for an invasion of the Unist’ot’en Camp, said Grand Chief Stewart Phillip of the Union of BC Indian Chiefs. 

The news came in this morning, said Phillip, confirming what have previously been thought to be rumours of an impending “mass arrest operation” on traditional Unist’ot’en territory in northwestern B.C.

“It’s definitely going to come down,” he told Vancouver Observer. “We don’t have precise numbers, but it very well could be more than 200 (officers), because this story is totally rippling across the country.”
