Unless of course you are rightwing then it is par for the course. Unless you live on cambie street and hate the homeless

Tyranny has started a new club in Canada and the first member is the National Energy Board.

On Thursday the scandal-plagued federal agency ruled that Kinder Morgan, a U.S. pipeline company that’s the spawn of Enron (remember that tale of corporate corruption) doesn’t have to comply with City of Burnaby bylaws.


thwarting democracy the NEB helped the indebted firm ($38 billion US) increase its share value by $1.9 billion in the hours after the decision was announced.

Burnaby has been dragging its feet on the Trans Mountain pipeline because its citizens have opposed a project they feel will irrevocably change their community and the province.

The city would be the unfortunate terminus for the $7.4-billion project to triple the capacity of the existing 63-year-old oil pipeline from Alberta.

The NEB heightened public discontent with a string of injustices during public hearings on the pipeline.

This boneheaded move by neb could make canadas first fed govt a reality in our lifetime. As in next election

3rd paragraph from the above noted link.

Man camps provide temporary employee housing to thousands of mostly non-Indigenous male workers – who are legally disallowed from bringing their families – in the resource sector. This is a consistent pattern of the settler state over the past century. Hudson's Bay Company prohibited European women from accompanying, and flooded Indigenous lands with non-Indigenous men who kidnapped, sexually exploited, enslaved and sold Indigenous women.

Need I say any more than that?
