So what, it's the federal government that should be requesting the injunctions.

Why would it be?  The issues in BC are completely within the jurisdiction of the provincial government.  The issues on the CN line are completely within the purview of the company.  Each respective party has requested the injunctions and they have been granted.  The RCMP in BC, under the authority of the BC Crown (not the federal one) has been carrying out the injunction.  The OPP will not carry out the injunction on the CN line, and so far, the CN police aren't willing to act, looking for a more peaceful solution.  Both the BC government and Ottawa have sent ministers to try to broker a truce.  Literally everything is being done by the book.
