^^ Give an inch to government, and they'll take a light year.
The current government is working very diligently to flush Canada down the toilet.
The really messed up thing is that while they way infinite power to listen in on Canadians, they're writing legislation in secret, and not letting Canadians know. It's hypocrisy in the extreme.

The article goes on a red herring wailing about how "new" tech is vs citizen rights. Sorry, surveillance cameras are ... cameras. Cameras are the cutting edge news of 1920, though it would be hard to hide a couple of the early ones.

Now STFU about this "illegal operation crap." I SAID, Divide by Zero NOW or you are a terrorist!
And remember all that cool Founding Fathers stuff about "inalienable rights"? Sorry, rights are very very alienable. :(
