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.'"

    Are you for mandantory searches of all homes? No? So you stand with the child pornographers.
    Are you for mandantory screening of all letters and packages? No? So you stand with the child pornographers.
    Are you for mandantory monitoring of all private places? No? So you stand with the child pornographers.

    If enough people state publicly that he obviously stands with the child pornographers, maybe his bill will lose support.
