&quot;The government has tabled Bill C-51, which provides greater power to the security agencies to collect information on and disrupt the activities of suspected terrorist groups.&quot;<p>FYI for any Americans reading this, when a bill is tabled in Canada, it means the opposite of what you think it does, the bill is put forward for discussion rather than suspending discussion indefinitely.

&gt; “There is a growing, highly organized and well-financed anti-Canada petroleum movement that consists of peaceful activists, militants and violent extremists who are opposed to society’s reliance on fossil fuels,”<p>Anti-Canada petroleum movement, or Canadian anti-petroleum movement? This doesn&#x27;t seem like an accidental word re-arrangement.

There&#x27;s an election coming up. The terrorism boogeyman has been so expedient in America that the Conservative Party is trying to invent a similar threat.

There&#x27;s a simple solution to this supposed &quot;anti-Canada&quot; activity and it&#x27;s for Canada to build the pipeline over to British Columbia. Then y&#x27;all won&#x27;t have to worry about dealing with US &quot;anti-petroleum forces&quot; and we won&#x27;t have to worry about your oil spilling on our land on its way to China.

Anyone else catch how activity these groups engage in &quot;jeopardizes [...] the natural environment&quot;?<p>Sweet, sweet irony.

Isn&#x27;t Canada also being crushed by Saudi dumping cheap oil?<p>Pretty sure that is a bigger threat to them than protesters.<p>When exactly did the US and Canada turn into primary exporters of expensive oil, crazy times.
