Canada's Internet Surveillance Bill: Not Dead After All 53
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.'"

Damn, Vic -- must be tough. Most people actually think you are a greater threat than a child pornographer. I mean, I think you are a wildly irrational authoritarian with far more power to harm the Canadian populace than any person with your mind-set should have, but.... well... OK, maybe they're right. I guess you are more of a threat than a child pornographer.
Heh, I guess, maybe you should be careful with the comparisons you draw. You might just wind up on the wrong side.

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.
