Provincial parties =/= federal parties. All they share is a name.
Considering they voted against these bills in the past, I'd say no. |
They share much more than that. They share the same ideology and support each other during their respective campaigns. In the last election the provincial teams were working just as hard in support of their federal brethren as the actual campaign teams themselves. And the same will be true in the provincial election. |

Again I am not happy but this is happening on ALL levels of government. I do not support this initiative by the conservatives at all.
Just remember though that this is a problem across the board.
We have the nanny state left, the law and order right. It was the Liberal party that passed secret laws and presided over the G20 mess.
To be honest, when it comes to matters of freedom and rights, I really wish we had a viable Libertarian party to champion this cause.
Of the three major parties though, the conservatives overall are the best choice. They are making a huge mistake with this bill though. But I am not convinced that other parties wouldnt do similar things. In fact they are already on record as doing so. |
No, you are wrong. The CPC has been trying to champion this during much of its' minority days... it faced snags because it did not have all-party support; now welcome to the conservative majority state, where there will be this and more where it came from.
You really need to learn to call a spade a spade. |

Petition against internet 'lawful access' bills
By CBC News
Advocates for internet users and civil liberties groups have launched a petition against proposed laws that would give police new powers to monitor and intercept internet communications in Canada.
Advocates for internet users and civil liberties groups have launched a petition against proposed laws that would give police new powers to monitor and intercept internet communications in Canada.
"These invasive surveillance bills will transform the internet to a closed, rigid, paranoid space," said Steve Anderson, executive director of Open Media, the group leading the campaign, in a statement. The group had previously mobilized internet users against usage-based internet billing.
The new "Stop Spying" petition opposes three bills that were introduced by Stephen Harper's Conservative government in the last session of Parliament, saying they will invade privacy, leave personal information less secure and boost the cost of internet service.
The Conservatives promised as part of their election platform to reintroduce legislation tabled before the May 2 election that would "give law enforcement and national security agencies up-to-date tools to fight crime in today's high-tech telecommunications environment." They committed to passing the legislation within their first 100 sitting days in office.
The bills from the last session included:
* C-50, Access to Investigative Tools for Serious Crimes Act, which would give police the power to intercept private communications without a warrant under certain circumstances.
* C-51, Investigative Powers for the 21st Century Act, which would allow police to get a) warrants to obtain information transmitted over the internet and data related to its transmission, including locations of individuals and transactions; b) orders that would compel other parties to preserve electronic evidence.
* C-52, Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act, which would require internet service providers to a) have infrastructure that will allow law enforcement agents to intercept internet communications of their customers; b) provide basic information about their subscribers to law enforcement.
The government and law enforcement officials say the laws are necessary because technology provides new ways of committing crimes and makes them harder to investigate. The Conservative government has previously tried to introduce similar legislation multiple times.
Open Media said the police interception of private communications without a warrant will "invade the private lives of law-abiding Canadians." It believes the legislation will leave personal and financial information less secure and will boost the cost of internet service, since internet service providers will likely pass on the cost of installing "millions of dollars worth" of technology to make communications interceptable.
By Wednesday evening, the same day the petition was launched, 30,000 people had signed, Open Media reported.
The petition is backed by the Canadian and B.C. civil liberties associations, the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic at the University of Ottawa and the Tyee, a B.C.-based news and culture website. Several unions and independent media outlets are also supporting the campaign.

I completely agree with you. What often is displayed to the public as a 'great thing for safety', could be turned around to be used against them later...as another form of control. The sad thing is that most humans are giving up. Most people just accept it and do as they are told. |

| You know I believe there's a lot of corruption in the world, but saying that there are aliens taking us over without any evidence is retarded. Its hard to believe any info these days, we do have way too much info out there. But I need hard evidence to believe any conspiracy theory and there are too many to follow up on them. And if they are aliens way more intelligent than us, why are they on this planet if they want to get off? If they can build ancient bio laps, then they are capable of building starships that can travel faster than the speed of light. , seriously enough with the ****** conspiracy theories. One guy I know thinks Obama is a reanimated zombie. It's retarded. |
