Donald carefully reviews the case, laying bare the details surrounding the arrests of the Coutts Four during protests at Coutts, Alta. in February 2022. These men have been detained without bail on severe charges of conspiring to murder Royal Canadian Mounted Police officers, an unusual circumstance that Donald scrutinizes.
