With all the discussion about Bill-51 it becomes apparent that many Canadians are waking up to the fact that this bill could tear at the very fabric of our civil rights and make our security forces in many ways closer to a police state. The many rights that could be trampled by security forces because of the lack of oversight causes us to question the need for such haste in passing this bill. Cooler and more sober minds could take the good points within the bill and negate the poorer clauses to protect us without tramping on our liberties.
Harper has brought on a sense of fear among Canadians and for political reasons has convinced his party that there is a constant danger to our country by terrorists and this is just not true. There is adequate legislation to defend ourselves and the laws can enforce the needs but maybe there needs to be a better understanding of just what is the requirements for better enforcement.Better budgets and better tools could possibly help but we do not need an atmosphere of fear but rather a sense that we are capable of taking care of bad situations with a strong resolve to provide the manpower to use our legislation presently in place.
Canada is losing its status as a free nation because of the government acting on the basis of ideology instead of fact based information. Our pm is so geared to making our nation a right wing country he has lost the ability to make rational decisions . We are not a police state yet but with unsupervised security agencies we could become on in short order. ```````````````````
