Canada's Internet Surveillance Bill: Not Dead After All
First time accepted submitter Maow writes "Despite a recent story claiming that Canada's Bill C-30, covering internet surveillance, has died a 'lonely' death, the minister responsible claims otherwise. 'Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is denying reports that the Harper government intends to quietly shelve its controversial online surveillance bill, C-30.' Speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, Toews insisted the legislation was moving ahead. He has previously stated this is the bill that you either support, 'or you stand with the child pornographers.'"
Funny how people often use the excuse "think of the children" when asking you to give up your rights and freedoms.
I am thinking of the children. Children who will one day not enjoy the rights I had if I do not fight for those rights today.
In my experience, being a douchebag is a requirement for a career in politics.
If I were God, wouldn't I protect my churches from acts of me?
Well then it's even more fitting.
The condescending attitude of the government is beginning to bother most people. I personally don't like being talked down to by idiots.
