"The environmental protesters who are determined to throttle Alberta’s oil industry are so invested in the narrow, regressive world of their own doom-laden vision of the future, and the fanatic, narcissistic righteousness that is the hallmark of that vision, that they see themselves as having a licence to to do just about anything, no matter how morally reprehensible, in the pursuit of their cause.
Yet the anti-pipeline zealots seems to think that these standards don’t apply to them.
...They were only three protesters.
But these three hooligans are a perfect example of the holier-than-thou mentality the pervades the modern environmental movement.
Storm a meeting, scream slogans, insult the industry, play the victim, taunt the police, harass, intimidate and act like a thug — you may call it protesting if you wish, but bullying and boorishness are far closer to the mark..."
