Tensions between Obsidian Energy Inc. and Woodland Cree First Nation intensified again on Tuesday, with the oil company filing a court order asking that the Chief and other members of the Northern Alberta community be arrested and jailed.
Specifically, they asked for an order declaring that Mr. Laboucan-Avirom is in civil contempt, asking that he and other members of the blockade “be placed into custody pending the purging of their civil contempt or otherwise be subject to a fine, costs, or other penalty.” And it said ratcheting up injunction to request contempt charges and jail “has serious implications for the freedom of members of WCFN, including their Chief, as well as WCFN’s exercise of their Aboriginal Treaty and inherent rights.”
Woodland Cree isn’t the only First Nation that considers Obsidian’s area of operations to be within its traditional territory, the oil company said in its court filing Tuesday.
