Canada Seeking Cyberspace Security Input
inflamed writes "The Canadian government has announced a consultation period concerning its secretive plans to 'integrate' the US-Canada border systems. Last on the list of topics for consultation, but foremost in importance, is the issue of cybersecurity. With the deadline looming (June 3), it is important that informed individuals take note of this consultation and give their opinions."
Now we have majority. So, sorry guys, but have plenty of time to respond. God bless them all....somehow.
Yet more proof, as if any was needed, that iOS is superior to Android as a platform.
We'll need somewhere to go after the conservatives have successfully secured all the money into the hands of the rich people and corporations in the USA.
Ignorance is Strength.
I, for one, propose that every citizen be handcuffed. You never know who might turn into a criminal! Also, euthanasia for anyone over 50.
Grammar nazis are to this community what excrements are to gold.
Now just abolish the CRTC, get rid of the oligopoly and we're good to go.
I should have been a girl, with the way I can dance... my moves are amazing!
Since then, officials from the two countries have been working behind the scenes on the details. The purpose of the negotiations is to establish an "action plan" on border security aimed at tightening protection against terrorists and easing the flow of cross-border traffic.
Last time I checked, our northern brethren aren't the ones causing the problems. Oh and if you're really interested in some BS, look a how the ATF encouraged fire-arms sales to the drug cartels. And how Mexico is basically New Afghanistan, with all sorts of fun brewing there. We're so worried about airport security, when behind our backs the terrorist cells are clamoring to proverbially hop the fence--they know the Fed isn't guarding it. Or maybe I'm just wrong and being a racist.

%^@% Harper government. All of the worst ideas Canada has implemented over the past decade have all been second-hand from the USA. Yes, I want the government to give our sovereignty away, grope or radioactively strip-search it's citizens without the slightest hint of cause, and the ability to confiscate all electronics for indefinite periods for those who have the audacity to see the outside world.
%^@% Harper government.
GIANT Snort sensors on all their Internets.
Does the term "informed individual" include the people actually making the decision?
Because if so, we're kind of screwed...

Seriously, this is a good time to get the western users over to IPv6. From there, it is easier to secure a system since most will have their own IP address. THat does not mean that it is secured, just easier than dealing with NAT.
I prefer the "u" in honour as it seems to be missing these days.
Well, They can start by spelling protect ... p-r-o-t-e-c-t correctly, instead of using the word project. Did anyone else catch this?
Just say NO
So what? Canada can't even keep out 492 Tamil illegals even when given 30 days notice they are coming. Maybe the Americans can show Canadian Border Services to do more than collect GST.
Team work.
Train beavers to attack anyone crossing the border.
Use Predators recon drones to record it on video.
Supply popcorn and soda to Canadian customs agents and TSA agents so they can enjoy the show.
As for the cyber part... Chainsaw meet fiber optic cable... Blame it on the beavers.
I read border and cyber security, but it all looks like blah-blah-DMCA-blah-blah-Patriot Act-blah blah. This is a smoke screen. There's no Canadian/US boarder problem. There's only a CMPDA/MPAA & CRIA/RIAA problem. Oh yeah, and we gotta git d'em turrists with a stronger North American wide Patriot Act!
I8-D
Tuck it under NORAD - ala WAR GAMES!!!
The idea that the US is being given access to Canadian data is horrifying.
The "integration" is perhaps just a ruse. Its really a way for the Americans to impose their draconian legislation upon us. They allowed themselves to become corrupted by the media barons, and now they wish for all the world to suffer the intolerable draconian bullshit that they themselves have pressed upon their own country. The stick being "the price of" blah blah blah. There is no added security involved here. Its all about pledging economic fealty. Its bizarre. Canada's economy is not going down the shitter like the US economy. We are still selling to China, and our sales to China are increasing at the same time our sales to the US are decreasing. Canada's debt to GDP ratio is about 43%. In the US, the ratio is about 97% (last I heard) and rising. There should be no harmonization of draconian policies and practices.
