And aren't really to be taken serious at all.

Agent provocateurs however, are a documented fact, which the Canadian conservative government has used in the past.

The conservatives in my government however, aren't very competent at covering their tracks. They were identified as such by wearing the same boots as the police.

Police-issued boots identified fake protesters

Protest organizers on Wednesday played the video for the media at a news conference in Ottawa. One of the organizers, union leader Dave Coles, explained that one reason protesters knew the men's true identities was because they were wearing the same boots as other police officers.

Coles said on Wednesday that the only thing he didn't know was whether the men were Quebec police, RCMP or hired security officers.

"[Our union]believes that the security force at Montebello were ordered to infiltrate our peaceful assembly and provoke incidents," said Coles, president of the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers Union.
