TOWN vs COUNTRY
The CLA is comprised of people who have been attentive to the modern urban tendency to covet and convert ownership of rural assets, through the use of legislative and regulatory takings. Let's postulate; how will that tendency change when the currency wars ultimately impact the economy through a dramatic shift in the velocity of fiat money? Is there an historical case study?
"Near civil war between town and country was a pervasive feature of this break-down in social order. Large mobs of half-starved and vindictive townsmen descended on villages to seize food from farmers accused of hoarding. The diary of one young woman described the scene at her cousin’s farm..."

The Canadian police, despite being aware of the malicious jihadist and anti-Canadian propaganda, has its hands tied down.

The Canadian government is seen to be quite aware of these threats originating from the mosque, but due to the principles of multiculturalism and the associated laws that govern in Canada, the local law enforcement agencies are not able to do much to curb the growing terrorists in Canada. h/t Bourque Newswatch
