From here:

https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/api/router/CanActivate-decorator.html

CanActivate is an annotation, not a function. You use it like this:

@Component({selector: ... })
@CanActivate(()=>console.log('Should the component Activate?'))
class AppComponent {

}

routerOnActivate IS a function you use inside your component:
