Justin Trudeau may have some explaining to do after his political ally Chief Na’Moks John Ridsdale reportedly executed a dog late at night.
It turns out, the Hereditary Chiefs that Trudeau has granted extraordinary political power to are not the statesmanlike neighborly heroes that the Prime Minister has been pretending them to be.
Hereditary Chief and CBC star-child John Ridsdale has been fighting a years-long battle to stop the Coastal Gas Link project in its tracks. It has allowed Trudeau to align himself with their anti-pipeline ambitions.
In a surprising turn of events, Chief Na’Moks a.k.a. John Ridsdale has reportedly been arrested and had his guns seized after allegedly executing a dog in the middle of the night.
Liz George, the apparent owner of the dog, took to Facebook to announce the killing – saying “What’s the TRADITIONAL ways to deal with. HEREDITARY CHIEF coming to your property at 1-130 am. DRUNK with a GUN & shooting your dog on the patio?” (sic).
According to George, Chief Ridsdale was arrested and charged with four counts of violating the Criminal Code including possessing a weapon for a dangerous purpose, careless use or storage of a firearm, trespassing at night, and killing or injuring an animal. The RCMP have since released the esteemed community leader back into the town.

The Counter Signal has reached out to the Office of the Wet’suwet’en for comment, but has not heard back. It is unclear if the office has made any attempt to remove Ridsdale from his office.
Earlier last year I reported on “Chief Woos” a.k.a. Frank Alec, a leader of the Office of the Wet’suwet’en (the fake first nation), that has been trying to siphon away power from the elected band council in the northern regions of British Columbia.
Justin Trudeau was eager to facilitate this, lending them legitimacy by sending Minister Carolyn Bennett to pose with them as they signed an initial agreement.
Chief Alec pled guilty to domestic assault in 1999 after beating his wife in 1998, making Ridsdale the second potential criminal in the Hereditary Chief circles.
Ridsdale is expected back in court in late May. No allegations have yet been proven in court.
