Canadian MP Calls For ISP Licenses, Content Blocks

An anonymous reader writes "A member of Canada's ruling Conservative party has pledged to "clean up" the Internet with new bill that would mandate ISP licensing, know-your-subscriber rules, and allow the government to order ISPs to block content. ISPs that fail to block would faces possible jail time for the company's directors and officers."

    It appears you believe all what the NDP and Liberals say about the current government.

    Uh Oh! i hope your not from the U.S because if so, you guys elected the most undemocratic fool named BUSH, who passed laws to give himself more power to delve into private data from it's own citizen to catch anyone sayinf bad things about them.
    That same country is also trying to change commerce law in every country so it can have the best deal.

    Nothing coming from the U.S. is an exemple.

    You keep using that word, "elected". I do not think it means what you think it means. (At least, by US election "standards")

    Bush wasn't elected, he was appointed by the US Supreme Court.

    Your point?

    All you managed to point out was that Gore won the most populous states in the nation per square mile while Bush won the ones with small populations with large amounts of landmass being used for farming, which also happen to be the states with high Christian populations, and with extreme conservative streaks. I could take it one step further and point out that Bush lost almost every major city in the country and that Bush's wins where also areas of large Methamphetamine problems. We could go back and forth with these statistics.

    So really all you managed to point out is what everyone already knows, the middle of the country is full of hick Christian wackos with no sense of reality since they are so cut off from the culture the west and east provide from foreign influence. And that Bush's brother stole Florida for for him.
