My point was Canadians started to stand up for something, and between that website and the media attention, were able to have some change in the phone plans.

this it totally true. i don't know why Chris Allen put that iphone thing there, but i'm talking about something bigger than ppl complaining about a dumb phone. I'm talking about governments making laws the more laws just to cover their asses. like if u do something u are classified as a terrorist. i can't think of any examples right now, but i hope u guys get what i mean

Simply put, the Iphone thing is a bad example because people are a lot more willing to complain about the actions of a company than the actions of their government. Also, on an individual level, consumers have a lot more power over companies than citizens over government policies. Apples and oranges, really.

I understood your point, I'm not retarded
There are plenty of times when Canadians have fought back, but yes in the general consensus we do as a society just roll over and take it.
and we cannot let this go on any further. time to make noise! tell the to stop f-ing with us!!!!

All they'll get on me are 8 GB of MP3s on my BlackBerry & another 8 on my 2-week-old Nokia N95-3, 16 GB on the HTC Advantage X7510, 2 GB of MP3s on my watch phone, 280 GB of MP3 on my laptop HDD & torrents running off the cell card till the laptop battery runs flat, 2 TB of FLAC & 1 TB of ISOs on my external HDD. ;-)
Nothing terrorism there. ;-) They'll be wasting their time & holding everyone up by searching me. ROFL
PS: Yes, I really do walk around with 4 high-end mobile phones every day, 2 of which have int'l SIMs roaming 24/7. :-D

I'd be careful about their anti-piracy laws as well.
I'm sure if they find stolen intellectual property on your electronic device you could get some severe punishments.
It was that long ago where there was a law they were trying to pass a law to give the rights to custom cards to scan the hard drives of individuals for pirated software.
I wouldn't surprise me if M$ was working with the government on this lol

What happens if your entire drive(s) are encrypted & hidden via something like TrueCrypt (where entire volumes can be hidden inside normal files)?

Who knows.
But if your computer is encrypted to that degree, they might wonder what you are trying to hide.
