Canada moves toward totalitarianism

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 rights

This 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.

Irresponsible people will use the internet for criminal purposes.
Law enforcement must have the ability to deal with online crime!

What is the proper balance between "privacy rights" and "security"? There 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!

Being on the receiving end of surveillance: I take it Vic Toews didn't like his personal information exposed (and the details of his divorce was already in the public domain--not private) Well what's good for the goose is good for the gander! Apparently the government has sic-ed 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

So much disrespect for our political leaders here!  Ya'all must be child pornographers... LOL! By Anonymous on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/18/12 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" http://www.winnipegfreepress.com/local/tell-vic-everything-an-internet-sensation-139501528.html #tellviceverything By Anonymous on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/18/12 I believe the Harper gov't. is bowing to US pressure to align Canada's surveillance policies with those of the US. see "defying empire (courage to resist the empire of lies)" see "the govrnment has no clothes" By bill dality on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/18/12 Watch it lil bro... Mockery,satire,caricature...may be interpreted as "defamation"! --Big Bro By BB on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/18/12 Politicians and government spending require much tighter surveillance! http://news.nationalpost.com/2012/02/15/vikileaks-twitter-account-reveals-embarrassing-details-of-vic-toews-private-life/ Keep 'em on a short , tight leash! By --Anon on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/17/12 There must be a way to fight cybercrime ,without giving the government blanket control of the web. The 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" By bill dality on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/17/12 The internet is far too powerful an instrument to be left in the hands of ordinary citizens. -Vic T. et al By Anonymous on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/17/12 Avicenna the bokharan By the bokharan on Canada moves toward totalitarianism on 2/15/12 Surveillance is a two-way street .

Republican policy agenda toward poverty:

"Let them eat cake"
--Marie-Antoinette

"I don't care about the poor..."
--Mitt Romney




By Professor John A. Tures, LaGrange College | Yahoo! Contributor Network – Fri, Feb 3, 2012

"Romney probably knows that most folks, even the poor, don't think they are poor. According to Gregroy Mantsios' essay Class in America, people generally think all but a fraction of folks are in the middle class. The upper class don't like to talk about their wealth, and the lower class don't want to admit their poverty.

David Shipler, author of "The Working Poor," writes, "Time magazine found in a 2000 survey that 19 percent of Americans thought they were in the top 1 percent of wage-earners, and another 20 percent expected to be in the future." So when someone claims they are the 99 percent, 40 percent think they are the one percent.

It's simple math. When Romney says he is concerned with the 90-95 percent who are middle class, most folks believe him. Only five percent may actually be offended, and they likely wouldn't have voted for him anyway."

divide and conquor--exploiting divisions within the 99%

Monday, November 28, 2011 11:36 AM

This kind of propoganda is a commonly used technique to subvert the credibility/legitimacy and weaken the solidarity of any "dissident" social movement.

The Republican strategy is to direct the resentment and anger of the middleclass downward rather than upward!

It's the bottom 2% of the 99% wch is most active in the "Occupy" movement.

This lowest socio-economic group includes many who are homeless, unemployed, mentally-challenged and

having "substance abuse" issues.

The upper 98% (or in this case the 53%)of the 99% has difficulty identifying with this group ,and therefore try to distance themselves from the movement by claiming that the 2% of the 99% do not represent them.

The lowest (2%) socio-economic group then claims that the 53% have sold out or been co-opted by the 1%.

and have become apologists for the oil and bank corporations

Wouldn't it be nice if the government went after the corporate criminals ,the way they deal with the demonstrators camped out in the parks!
