Well...hell...what's he gonna do after ISIS just barbecued a guy in a cage ? He didn't even send him any blankets to help put the fire out !

And most Canadians support anti-terror legislation, likewise the mission in Iraq........Trudeau/Liberal flip-flop, the legislation is wrong (so he says), but he'll vote for it because its popular :lol:

Are you saying that committee review will produce no changes even though that was a stated action/result by the gov't? Strange.

I'm a non-partisan and hope gov't operates as its supposed to.....

1) gov't introduces legislation that is free from politiking (ie. "Does Trudeau love pedophiles?")

2) oppositions perform review and show appropriate level criticism (ie. "There'll be Gestapo in the streets")

3) goes to committee and bill is amended taking into account both the criticism and gov'ts end goal

4) H of C presents balanced legislation to public together without partisan buffoonery and bluster

The majority might support it because they have bought into the fearmongering from the government. THE TERRORISTS ARE GONNA KILL YOU!!!! While they strip away the rights of citizens. They bought into it because they do not know how this new threat came to be. They don't understand how our actions in the ME has given rise to this new threat.

I am just wondering when Canada will see some real blowback.

Does anybody else suspect, as I do, that the government added this clause to make it impossible for Trudeau to support it:

The announcement, made Wednesday afternoon, seems particularly odd because the bill includes a measure that would let the Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) apply for a warrant to ignore the charter. The charter is indelibly linked to Trudeau, as it was written and enacted under the Liberal government headed by his father, former prime minister Pierre Elliott Trudeau.

So, it's been going on since the days of Trudeau, perhaps longer. Wonder if this gives light to the systematic progress that the government has been making slowly over decades so no one notices. Water is getting hotter.

? What ? Did you conclude from my post that they were saying that this has been going on since the days of Trudeau ? That's not what it's meant to say.

True you did not mean to say it, but it's not far from the truth.

You look at what they are doing ,yes they are the worse in a long time.

Toronto, like a roach motel in the middle of a pretty living room.

The Government has already stated they won't change the legislation.........so I would assume that would include later in committee.

No, I think the Government added it to give CSIS the ability to streamline the use of intelligence collected by our Allies, information that currently would be inadmissible in a Canadian court, as such precluding its use in legal proceedings against the suspect(s)….

So trudeau is flip flopping again. Does he stand up for anything or just go with the flow.

Which rights are being stripped away?

The ME has been burning for decades and it has nothing to do with harper. If you want to go that way, who sent us to Afghanistan.

Heaven forbid there's a election....errr war at stake here.

I'm certain that's the reason the Trudeau Liberals are siding with the Government......clearly they too feel the election war is at stake... ;)

What makes potentially bad legislation worse and even grotesque is when it's mostly motivated by the opportunity to corner your opponents prior to an election. Its one thing to get an undeserved and ill-advised GST cut this way but another thing altogether to get a bigger dictator's toolbox. Wtf did we do to deserve that?

A government without public oversight is like a nuclear plant without lead shielding.

Apparently we voted for Harper. So lets not make that mistake again.

Love this bit.

2. The following definitions apply in this Act.

“activity that undermines the security of Canada”

« activité portant atteinte à la sécurité du Canada »

“activity that undermines the security of Canada” means any activity, including any of the following activities, if it undermines the sovereignty, security or territorial integrity of Canada or the lives or the security of the people of Canada:

....

(i) an activity that takes place in Canada and undermines the security of another state.

That generality can be applied to half of our federal members in Parliament. Economic sanctions against Russia come to mind. The interference with Haiti also pops into memory. But again these rules apply to you and me, not govermnent officials.
