Private landowners who protested outside a public hearing into an bitumen upgrader northeast of Edmonton Tuesday were filmed by security guards hired by the project proponent, French energy giant Total S.A., CBC News has learned.
"What are they so afraid of?" landowner Anne Brown asked on Wednesday. "Why are they taping us?"
The two men videotaped the group as they held a peaceful protest outside the Fort Saskatchewan hotel where the Alberta Energy Resources Conservation Board (ERCB) is holding a hearing into the project.
When they were confronted by the landowners, the men identified themselves as security guards and said they would be handing the tape over to their employer, whom they declined to identify.

If people think that BP is hard to deal with, well they haven't met Total.
