This is a further entrenchment of Harper's widely opposed Anti-Terrorism Act (Bill C-51) of 2015. A short time after that law was passed, an RCMP report identified environmentalists as "terrorists." First Nations activism, of course, has also been identified as terrorist. Trudeau, elected a few months after the law was enacted, had promised to amend it to "increase oversight," but he never seems to have gotten around to that (another campaign-trail lie).

After three protesters were arrested on Monday at a Minnesota construction site for Enbridge's Line 3 pipeline, more than 50 water protectors on Tuesday marched onto an easement—with two people locking themselves to an excavator—and temporarily shut down work on the contested tar sands project.
