Canadian government to declare First Nations terrorists?

Where is Canada headed? The government will declare the First Nations terrorists, if they resist Big Oil's attempts to put a pipeline through their homeland to export tar faster to China?  Notice the language in this article about how Ottawa has established a counter-terrorism unit to "protect the energy industry":


[Excerpts]

• "...to protect the energy industry from attacks by extremists". 
• "the terrorist threat could come more from people inside the country than outside the border"
• "We are looking at ANY individuals or groups that pose a threat... that is based on either religious, political or ideological goals."
• "...it is important that intelligence is collected against the activities of groups BEFORE they become violent.
• "the key...will be to gather intelligence to prevent attacks".

NUTSHELL:  The Canadian government will protect Big Oil by "looking at" (snooping and collecting intelligence on) ANY individuals or groups who are opposed to key projects (think "Enbridge's Northern Gateway Pipeline") on political or ideological grounds, even BEFORE they have become violent. Oh Canada?!

The review process has already been hijacked so the consultation is already a futile exercise.  The laws of the land are lamely stacked against First Nations so going to the Supreme Court is futile for them.  So if they were to ever consider political or ideological resistance and expressing it in any way (even non-violent ways), they would be fair game for "counter-terrorism" activities treating them as terrorists. 

Canadians should object vehemently to the use of "counter-terrorism" language to deal with internal resistance by any groups on "political or ideological" grounds.  We have seen George Bush and his goons wielding this language south of the border.  We should all stand up and reject the use of this language in Canada, which is clearly aimed at crushing First Nations opposition.  

Stand up now!  Re-post, re-Tweet, share and educate people about this latest tactic from the Harpocracy propped by ethical oil!
