I was forwarded this email from ReThinkRedDeer. An interesting bit:
"Bill C-19
"Bill C-19
Please take a moment to inform yourselves about Bill 19 –
the LAND ASSEMBLY PROJECT AREA ACT and hopefully sign the petition to oppose it. IN sum, Bill 19 is an attempt to streamline the expropriation process of private property for major infrastructure projects. Although justified under the guise of acquiring land for utility corridors, the Bill is broadly worded to allow for any major infrastructure projects including pipelines, gas wells and nuclear reactors. Worse the Bill gives considerable power and discretion to government Ministers and removes existing rights of land owners and the public to question the public interest value of major infrastructure developments by criminalizing any objections with a $100,000 fine and/or two years in jail.
