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.'"

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.

Well "Nazi Totalitarians" isn't that far off from our current Conservatives. Harper executes pretty strong control over all his followers, he is restricting free speech, attacking the environmental movement, supporting big business regardless of the effects on Canada or the cost to the public, organizing a police like state (with training at the G8/G20 session, minimum penalties for crimes, eliminating the concept of personal privacy for the citizenry, etc).
