An undercover police officer told court Anthony Olienick characterized Mounties as the 91裸聊视频渁rms91裸聊视频� of Canada91裸聊视频檚 91裸聊视频渄evil91裸聊视频� prime minister and said if police tried to break up the border blockade at Coutts, Alta., he would kill them.
91裸聊视频淚f (police) come into Coutts, he said that he will slit their throats,91裸聊视频� the officer testified Wednesday.
91裸聊视频�(He said) this was his destiny and the war he was supposed to fight in.
91裸聊视频淗e once again said that he knows he91裸聊视频檚 going to die for this fight.
91裸聊视频淭hen he said he wants to kill them all.91裸聊视频�
Olienick and Chris Carbert are on trial in Lethbridge, Alta., charged with conspiring to murder police officers at the blockade.
The blockade ran for two weeks in early 2022, tying up traffic at the busy Canada-United States border crossing for two weeks to protest COVID-19 restrictions and pandemic vaccine mandates.
The two men were arrested after Mounties found a cache of guns, body armour and ammunition in trailers in the area.
The undercover officer can be identified only as HQ1298 to protect her safety. Members of the public and media were cleared from the courtroom during her testimony but were allowed to listen in from a separate room.
The officer testified about how she infiltrated the Coutts protest, posing as a volunteer, and talked with Olienick.
Olienick, she said, expected the 91裸聊视频渄evil91裸聊视频檚 arms91裸聊视频� would make sure he didn91裸聊视频檛 survive the blockade.
He said Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was the devil and the RCMP were his limbs, the officer told the trial.
She became emotional during her testimony, prompting Crown prosecutor Steven Johnston to intervene.
91裸聊视频淵ou91裸聊视频檙e upset? Why?91裸聊视频� he asked.
91裸聊视频淏ecause you don91裸聊视频檛 want anyone to get hurt,91裸聊视频� the officer replied.
91裸聊视频淗ow did you steel yourself when you heard (the threats)?91裸聊视频� Johnston asked.
91裸聊视频淎t that point, you91裸聊视频檙e just doing a job. So you have to stay composed,91裸聊视频� the officer said.
91裸聊视频淎fterwards, it91裸聊视频檚 a little bit harder. In hindsight, it was upsetting.91裸聊视频�
She said the conversation with Olienick moved to what would happen if police descended on Coutts.
91裸聊视频淗e said he91裸聊视频檚 got some things. He can teach us how to shoot, and then he said sort of to stick with him because, 91裸聊视频業91裸聊视频檓 just going to run and gun.91裸聊视频�91裸聊视频�
The officer last saw Olienick on Feb. 13, 2022. He was angry and upset, saying RCMP had sabotaged some heavy equipment near the highway, said the officer.
After informing her superior about the movements of Olienick and Carbert, she said she was told to leave the area.
Hours later, police carried out an early morning raid.
During cross-examination, Olienick91裸聊视频檚 lawyer Marilyn Burns questioned the lack of actual quotes in the officer91裸聊视频檚 notes.
The officer acknowledged that as true, but said, 91裸聊视频淚t doesn91裸聊视频檛 mean the context of my notes are not contextual or accurate.91裸聊视频�
Burns also suggested that the officer may have misinterpreted what Olienick said about slitting throats.
Perhaps, said Burns, Olienick was using throat-slitting as a figure of speech and that police would in effect be figuratively slitting their own throats if they took action against the blockade.
91裸聊视频淲e91裸聊视频檙e dealing with an interpretation of language,91裸聊视频� said Burns.
Prosecutor Johnston objected.
91裸聊视频淭hat91裸聊视频檚 not what it says in the (officer91裸聊视频檚) notes,91裸聊视频� he said.
91裸聊视频淚 didn91裸聊视频檛 say it did,91裸聊视频� replied Burns.
91裸聊视频淚91裸聊视频檓 suggesting there is another interpretation than simply the people at Coutts slitting the police throats.91裸聊视频�
Olienick and Carbert are also charged with mischief and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose. Olienick faces a further charge of being in possession of a pipe bomb.
