Canadian Police Provocateurs?

Canadian protesters have accused undercover Canadian police of attempting to instigate a violent confrontation. The protesters were peacefully challenging the “Security and Prosperity Partnership” (SPP), an unlawful agreement being forged by the heads of state of Mexico, the U.S., and Canada. The SPP is widely seen as a move towards a future “North American Union”, where the three countries will abrogate their sovereignty in favor of a European Union-like superstate.

During the protest, three unknown masked men appeared to be planning to throw rocks at a police line. They were confronted by the protesters, who reminded them that it was a peaceful protest. The masked men refused to reveal their identities to the other protesters, and refused to dismiss the notion that they were really police provocateurs. Eventually, they pushed their way into the police line, where they were seemingly arrested. However, there is no record of their arrest, and witnesses claim that the masked men were wearing the exact same boots as the uniformed riot officers.

There have been many claims of undercover police provocateurs during past protests. The speculation is that the provocateurs start a violent confrontation, which is used as an excuse to shoot fleeing women in the back with rubber bullets and generally discredit the protesters. Fortunately, a violent confrontation was averted this time, and the alleged provocateurs were caught on tape.
