    Harper's 'criminal penalties for farmers' 

    In the Omnibus Bill C38 (May of 2012) NEB regulations were changed
    to put monetary and criminal penalties on farmers if they do not
    ask permission to cross pipelines; on summary conviction, a fine
    of up to $100,000 and/or imprisonment up to one year; on
    conviction on indictment, a fine of up to $1,000,000 and/or
    imprisonment up to five years. Too bad the presidents of the
    pipeline companies do not suffer the same consequences for
    polluting miles of private property. Instead they get
    multimillion-dollar pensions.

Where is Daniel Shays when we need him?
