expanding the web of surveillance
Harper announces "carte blanche' surveillance powers in the name of protecting public safety.
The internet became a little more dangerous with the passage by the Harper gov't of the
Surveillance Bill C30 --yet another erosion of civil rightsThis legislation gives Big Brother the right to access and monitor all your personal communications and private information.
Your cell phone and internet service providers are now agents of the police state.
The govt. can now intercept and monitor all communications without a warrant.
Privacy rights no longer exist!
You are under the watchful eye of Big Brother.

ReplyDeleteThe internet is far too powerful an instrument to be left in the hands of ordinary citizens.

There must be a way to fight cybercrime ,without giving the government blanket control of the web.
ReplyDeleteThe internet is far too important to leave in the hands of politicians! This would be like leaving the armed forces in the control of generals.
Already the RCMP/CSIS has labeled environmentalists like Greanpeace as "extremists" and a danger to Canadians.
It is easy to see how those who have concerns about gov't. policy,could be lumped together under the category of "terrorists" and "pedophiles".
This legislation can too easily be used to stifle/silence all dissent and opposition to government policies by intimidating,smearing, and discrediting all critics.
All opposition can be perceived as undermining/subverting the government's authority ,and the crackdown on such activism can be justified in the name of safequarding "public safety" and "national security"

It is easy to see how Vic Toew's reasoning that "anyone who opposes his antiprivacy Bill C30 must be a child pornographer" could be extended to mean "anyone who opposes the conservative government's agenda must be a terrorist sympathizer or perhaps a closet Jihadist"

I believe the Harper gov't. is bowing to US pressure to align Canada's surveillance policies with those of the US.

Being on the receiving end of surveillance:
ReplyDeleteI take it Vic Toews didn't like his personal information exposed (and the details of his divorce was alrady in the public domain--not private)
Well what's good for the goose is good for the gander!
Apparently the government has siced the RCMP to identify who "leaked" the info on Vikileaks.
This action by the gov. is perfect example of how the powers granted by Bill C30 can readily be abused
What is the proper balance between "privacy rights" and "security"?
ReplyDeleteThere must be some oversight and regulation of the use of the internet.
We can't allow cybercriminals to hide behind a cloak of anonymity.
We cannot allow pedophiles to harm children with impunity, or fraudsters to prey upon the vulnerable.
To do so would make Canada a haven for cybercriminals!
Irresponsible people will use the internet for criminal purposes.

Martial Law:

http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2012/03/19/obama-signs-executive-order-revising-authority-to-nationalize-resources-for/--
An Executive Order titled:
National Defense Resources Preparedness, was signed by Pres. Obama on Friday.
The order, which went unchallenged, "hands the entire economy over to the executives, it allows the public to be put into work brigades, and allows public lands to be sold off,"
It expands wartime emergency conditions into peacetime, and can be used under whatever circumstances the govt. considers an emergency. Combined with the NDAA http://www.infowars.com/, what we're really seeing is the start of martial law in America.
Martial law allows the suspension of the constitution and the Bill Of Rights
There is increased spying and surveillance of the public by a technocracy that fears justice and abhors due process, and perceives any challenge to it's authority as sedition and treason. Anyone who opposes the status quo is labeled a political dissident and worthy of surveillance --all in the name of "national security" and "public safety".

Obama signs Executive Order of Effective Martial Law

March 17, 2012
Friday is typically used by government and politicians to quietly dump a bombshell on which they do not want the media to shine its white-hot spotlight.
Yesterday is just such a Friday.
Obama issued an Executive Order of momentous implications.
It is long and I am still digesting it. But from my quick look at it, this is nothing less than a prelude to Martial Law.
In the name of an undefined “national emergency” and the declared imperative to prepare Americans to “respond” to the “national defense needs” of the United States, the Obama administration seizes authority to the President (and the Executive Branch) to commandeer the production, use, and distribution ofallresources in the country, public and private, including agricultural, energy, health, transportation, water, construction, and — just in case something is left out, the catch-all phrase — “all other materials, services, and facilities.”

ReplyDeleteNational Security Agency (NSA) has turned its surveillance apparatus on the U.S. and its citizens, and is building a 1 million square foot data center in Utah that will have the ability "to collect and sift through billions of email messages and phone calls, whether they originate within the country or overseas."
Bamford described his interview with former NSA administrator William Binney, who said while holding his thumb and forefinger close together, "we are that far from a turnkey totalitarian state."

The police and surveillance agencies are
government agencies.
They are agents of the government.
CSIS is a government agency.
It is an agent of the government.
Its actions and its day-to-day workings are motivated by the goal of furthering the govt's interests and policies, and subverting political opponents of the government.
The risk of Bill C51 is that it will be abused and employed to investigate/surveil political opponents of the government justified on the basis of suspicion of being a terrorist sympathizer ,or being enemy of the state (threat to national security).
Governments can be ruthless toward those who don't agree with them.
Agents of the gov't. may have difficulty maintaining political neutrality/objectivity,
and may end up working on behalf of and in furtherance of the political interests of the gov't.
No oversight body to uphold and enforce neutrality.
Quebec police tracked phone conversations and texts of journalists
ReplyDeletehttp://www.cbc.ca/beta/news/canada/montreal/quebec-journalists-police-spying-1. 3833507
It was a widespread practice by Quebec provincial police. This was done legally.They had an approved warrant.
This is an abuse of power.There has to be a higher standard for the issuance of warrants. There has to be more oversight.
Bill C51 enables government agencies to spy on anyone
When journalists are obstructed from doing their job, democracy suffers.
