Enemy of the State

I agree with many of the concerns raised by organizations against the Enbridge pipeline, whom Prime Minister Stephen Harper has ostensibly decried as “enemies of the government of Canada” and “enemies of the people of Canada” (click the title to see more on this). Am I an enemy sympathizer? Am I an enemy of the state as well? Are my values so misaligned with those of the current government?

If so, why should it be any different then, if it means not supporting a project, a plan, a purview, that I find dangerous, damaging, and un-democratic? 

I don’t think I’ve ever really had an enemy before. Hello people of Canada, I don’t know why we need to be enemies, or how one man can ever claim to speak for you all, but if enemies we must be I hope you don’t kick me out of this nice space you call home.

Regardless, I’m not going to change my views because I’ve been labeled a certain way.
