It looks like Canada is about to join China, North Korea, Iran and other "like-minded" nations in giving it's police forces unrestricted and unregulated access to its citizens online activities...WITHOUT A WARRANT! This really, really scares me! Here is the link to this story whaich was headline news here yesterday. Time for a new reality show...not "I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here II"....but rather..."I'm A Canadian, Get Me Out Of Here

Coming as I do from a country where there are more security cameras per square mile than anywhere else,( something which is just tolerated, I reckon ), I find this state-control proposal really scary. It appears to have no safeguards built in to protect the authorities from abusing the privacy of ordinary law-abiding citizens. Worst of all, it abnegates responsibility until well after the abuse may have taken place. How handy to track down tax evasion, harmless ( and legal ) perversion activities and to provide a source of revenue for their departments by selling on to Divorce Lawyers and / or other commerciallly interested parties !

I think the who idea stinks. It should only be considered after a stringent and transparent study by a cross-party Commission.

Of course we all know that terrorist groups will hide behind any civil rights they can find, but that is no argument for removing the average citizen's existing rights - ' in their own interests ' ! !

So, in about a year (more or less), some cop or detective or government agent just might be looking over my shoulder as I post here on TransLadyboy Forum! Isn't that just great!! I ma going to have to check our "Charter of Rights and Freedoms" that was passed into law during Pierre Trudeau's tenure as Prime Minister.
