Bill C-51

[$alvador]

Conrad Black takes to the Post to warn us on this shit, you just know Harper is already building the black prisons via the same upper-middle-class contractors that voted him into power.

we're basically following the same road the U.S. has gone down, where torture and unlawful detention becomes commonplace. this is the sort of bill that will provide no measurable benefit to the country and there is precedent to believe it will in fact fuck the country up infinitely worse. this is the sort of thing the next party in power is going to have to waste time and taxpayer money on pulling apart. Harper's basically saying "whether you vote for me or not, I'm going to sabotage things either way". Fucking evil behaviour

fucking aids.

If you're a bomb-carrying Habib, maybe. When's the last time you heard of a regular citizen getting imprisoned or tortured?

And if you're (not geared at anyone, just a general rant) one of those privacy internet activists just let me say this: google, mobile apps, Facebook etc., are all harvesting WAY more data about you than the government cares to harvest, yet when they need info people freak out. If you're not a terrorist, you'll be just fine.

good point, bj, but we still need to protect our freedoms.

media's doing a coordinated freak about it now because of that video with the jihadist guy. crazy to see the post and star in total agreement.

good point, bj, but we still need to protect our freedoms.

exactly. history is full of examples where broad, loosely-restricted powers given to ordinary fucks under the promise of fighting a foreign enemy ended up being turned on the citizens within a few years. you know what absolute power does to people. count yourself lucky if you haven't been inconvenienced by the growing authoritarianism in this country, i have and it was not a great deal more pleasant than the way i've been treated in third-world countries. the worst part is, i've been a tax-paying Canadian my whole life and have never even done anything remotely subversive.

you be shitting yourself if you think it's only the bomb-toting terrorists they're gunning for, there's enough incompetence in the power-hungry agencies that they will grind you under foot just by accident and leave you to pay the damages.

The amount of fear-mongering used to defend this bill is suspect enough that it's no good.

Let me get this straight, they are revoking liberties / freedom in the name of protecting liberty / freedom? Politics have me shaking my head.
