CND Government Demands Widespread Tap Access
north_of_49 wrote to mention a Globe and Mail article stating that the Canadian government is seeking the ability to conduct surveillance on the communications of its citizenry. From the article: "The major boost in interception capacity is in proposals the government has put forward in confidential negotiations with the telecom industry as it prepares new legislation on high-tech wiretapping scheduled to be introduced next month. Government officials insist their proposals will bring Canada's laws on wiretaps -- drafted when people still attached alligator clips to telephone lines to listen in -- up to speed with new technologies. But privacy advocates fear an erosion of safeguards, and telecom companies worry the government wants them to build in a costly interception system."
canadian are pushing this?????

All movements for social change begin as missions, evolve into businesses, and end up as rackets.
What the fuck is the point of having a Charter of Rights if the bastards can pass exceptions to it?
...or maybe it's Karl Rove. Oh hell, I don't know, someone tell me what to think!
