Roy Romanow & Ed Broadbent on Bill C-51
"They point out that it gives security agencies too much power to detain suspects without charge. They say it returns Canada to the days when the country’s spies spent much of their time playing dirty tricks against real or imagined threats.
They note that the bill’s definition of what constitutes a threat to national security is so broad that it “could include just about anything.”
Terrorism, they write, is “designed to provoke governments into making drastic mistakes.” Bill C-51, they imply, is one such drastic mistake."

Oh, Canada! We are becoming more like the USA every day. In all the liberty-shrinking, hateful ways.
ReplyDeleteYes and I can't believe that the majority of Canadians are okay with this. Polls, schmolls! How do they word them? "Are you for or against terrorism?"
