I'd assume that the logic is that Canadas' economic survival depends on its petroleum-product industries and anyone interfering with that is going to cause major harm to Canadas' survival as an oil-addled state. It is probably true that revenues generated by the oil industry are propping up the state, but then the RCMP should be doing a danger report on that, and not its own citizens. Probably easier for the gun-totin' types to deal with dirty stoned hippies than high-falutin' government economics-terrorists though, I'd imagine ..

Canada isn't as dependent on petroleum as Venezuela or Russia, but that resource is extremely profitable when prices are high so it often out-paces other industries in terms of margins. There are other natural resource industries unaffected by this. Saudi Arabia isn't flooding the market with trees or minerals. There's also a large manufacturing base.
