The BC supreme court found three Indigenous land defenders guilty of contempt of court for violating an injunction meant to keep them from blocking work on to Coastal Gas Link pipeline.

Injunctions are one of the most important repressive tools used against indigenous land defenders, to such a degree that the police often won't act without one. Land-based struggles are vulnerable to this because the whole idea is to not vacate territory -- even when being present on the territory has just been turned into a criminal offense by the injunction.

Judges in Canada typically ignore any issues raised by the land defenders (such as the fact that it is their land) and instead focus on a narrow reading of the facts: did the defendants know about the injunction and were they in breach of it.

This is a pretty brazen refusal by an arm of the state to engage in even a symbolic amount of reconciliation.
