King Pauls' Fascist State

Canada will soon follow the way of the US and attempt to implement Prime Minister Paul Martin's idea of a police state. Martin's Justice Minister Irwin Cotler said yesterday he would introduce legislation this fall that would give police and national security agencies new powers to eavesdrop on cellphone calls and monitor the Internet activities of Canadians reports The Globe And Mail. Excuse me? This is a LIBERAL government? Sure it is but this Liberal government has the same type of millionaire. self-centered, egomaniac that the US has for a leader. Someone who takes the view that they were anointed by their wealth to become King of the fiefdom. Wasn't it just a few short weeks ago that Canada was being heralded as a bastion of progressiveness after legalizing the Gay Marriage amendment? Don't kid yourselves my friends, we have the same wingnuts in power here as the US, and soon, if this legislation is not blocked Canadians too will be living under the thumb of its' very own version of the Patriot Act. The bill would allow police to demand that Internet service providers hand over a wide range of information on the surfing habits of individuals, including on-line pseudonyms and whether someone possesses a mischief-making computer virus, according to a draft outline of the bill provided to the Privacy Commissioner of Canada. The law would also force Internet service providers to retain records on the Internet use of its clients in such a way that it can be easily retrieved by police, doing away with the need in many cases to seize an individual's computer as part of an investigation. What the hell is it with these people in power? Leave us the hell alone, and do something constructive like fix the health care crisis, add more security to our mass transit systems. You're all so damn busy poking into the private lives of your citizens, you have no time for the things you were sent to Ottawa or Washington to take care of. Remember damn it you work for us!! I for one am sick and tired of your crap. The Justice Minister says "We will put law-enforcement people on the same level playing field as criminals and terrorists in the matter of using technology and accessing technology," he said. "At the same time we will protect the civil libertarian concerns that are involved such as privacy and information surveillance". What a load of bull shit that is. Even the governments' own Privacy Commissioner Jennifer Stoddart in her submission to the government earlier this year, stated that Ottawa and the police have not provided enough justification to warrant such a law. "We remain skeptical about the need for these potentially intrusive and far-reaching measures," she wrote. Ms. Stoddart noted the law could give police access to global-positioning-system data from cellphones combined with electronic banking data that could allow the government to track an individual's every move. This is nothing but a continuation of the fascist policy now in place in the United States drifting into the halls of power here in Canada. The only saving grace we MAY have in all this is the fact we have a Parliamentary system where King Paul I will be forced to answer to the opposition. Hopefully the additional fact that his highness has only a minority government he will think twice about this nonsense. If not the three opposition parties will have to step up to the plate and throw this bastard out on his ass where he belongs. I am beginning to believe the whole damn world is on a downward spiral to hell. Britain has it's REAL ID Act, the United States has its' Patriot Act, and now Canada wants what it calls its' "lawful access" legislation. This is nothing but fascism at its' best.
