"Harper Government Tracking Hundreds of Peaceful Protests"

"A new Public Safety document obtained by a Member of Parliament reveals that the government has been keeping tabs on more than 600 protests, rallies and events across Canada between 2006 and 2014.

A large portion of the peaceful gatherings were held by First Nations -- others by environmental and social activists protesting fracking, Keystone XL, and human rights abuses.

One such event was a celebration held by Tsilhqot’in Nation in Ottawa on the steps of the Supreme Court in November 2013.  The small B.C. band was pushing what would become a landmark title claim that would have huge repercussions for industrial projects across Canada."
