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."
In Soviet Canada, ISP screws YOU!
We shall go on to the end, we shall fight in Canada, we shall fight on the LAN's and WAN's, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the fibre, we shall defend our Internet, whatever the cost may be, we shall fight on the Servers, we shall fight on the Routers, we shall fight in the DNS and in the Backbones, we shall fight in the Computer Rooms; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this Internet or a large part of it were subjugated and censored, then our Industry beyond the 'Net, coded and staffed by the Valiant Geeks, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, Internet2, with all its power and might, steps forth to the rescue and the liberation of the old."

A canadian concerned citizen filed a petition at the supreme court asking it to clarify the credentials required to be an MP.
The request contained, amongst other things, "...MPs should be graduates with IQ above 110...must not present any bill for consideration without concurrence of 80% of his/her constituents...and should provide for hardcore jailtime if the MP is found falsifying records about education, IQ, etc..."
No, am serious. Who is this guy? Does he know a thing about internet, beyond "series of tubes",??

Nothing to see here. Move along please, eh.
Hell, the way the bible condones stoning in so many circumstances in human relations, I'm convinced that it's not so much violence as it is god's idea of foreplay.
Funny, I ran the technical operations for an ISP until last November and I never heard of that list.
Of course, you have to say that, or they'll come take you away.
