MP Carol Hughes, Algoma-Manitoulin-Kapuskasing
Somewhere along the line Canada has slipped into the plot of a George Orwell novel and it is becoming more difficult to fight back. People will be less inclined to attend peaceful protests if they are guaranteed to be placed on a list of suspects by the government. The new legislation aimed at internet security looks every bit as suspicious as the one that was pulled back for being too invasive of personal rights. The new privacy commissioner has a police and securities background which makes it more likely he is viewing these issues from the opposite side of the debate than the position is intended to. And now, we have a government department that was designed to prepare us for naturally occurring threats turned into a super-spy agency.
Is that the Canada you were born into?
