Van Sun says Enbridge critics worry about terror bill

2015-03-25 07:07 ET - In the News

The Vancouver Sun reports in its Wednesday edition British Columbia's activist and often-influential political culture was on display Tuesday at hearings into the Harper government's national security legislation. The Sun's Peter O'Neil writes one B.C. aboriginal leader told the parliamentary committee studying Bill C-51 the legislation was designed mainly to disrupt opposition to expansion of Alberta's oil sands industry. "We're absolutely convinced this is less about jihadi terrorism in this country and it's more about facilitating and promoting the tripling of the output of the tar sands," Grand Chief Stewart Phillip told MPs. "We're gravely concerned." Chief Phillip is just the latest critic to argue the bill could open the door to government security agencies targeting environmentalists and first nations activists opposing pipeline expansion to the B.C. coast. The legislation is aimed at activities that interfere with "critical infrastructure" and threaten the country's "economic or financial stability." While it exempts "lawful advocacy, protest, dissent and artistic expression," critics have said that leaves open the possibility that authorities could use the new powers to go after political opponents.
