The Globe and Mail reports in its Monday edition that a 22-page RCMP report argues there is a "growing criminal phenomenon" associated with environmentalists opposed to energy development. The Globe's Shawn McCarthy writes that the report was written in March, 2011. It was made public recently through an Access to Information request. The RCMP has faced formal complaints that it conducted surveillance on environmental groups that oppose construction of Enbridge's Northern Gateway pipeline. The Globe notes that neither first nation leaders nor environmental groups have advocated violence. The RCMP report says the Canadian Security Intelligence Agency monitors individuals and organizations that might be involved in domestic terrorism, "including the threat or use of violence by groups advocating for issues such as the environment." Carleton University criminologist Jeff Monaghan claims the report's authors constructed a trend from isolated incidents in an effort to justify broadening their investigation and monitoring of groups who oppose development. The RCMP denies it is targeting protesters or environmental groups in general, claiming it only investigates criminal activity.
