The government's bill proposes to give Canada's spy agency broad new powers to disrupt suspected terrorist plots, to allow government departments to share private information more widely, and to allow suspects to be detained without charge for longer periods.
But critics say that these new powers, and overly broad definitions in the proposed law, represent a threat to Canadians' rights, without any commensurate increase in parliamentary or third-party oversight

To be honest, one early Harper remark still has me shaking. It the one about anyone who disrupts the economy being a target. On the surface that sounds quite reasonable. Even though Harper says peaceful protests are to be excluded and one might think as suggested, of a union demonstration in front of Queen's Park, but let's think again. That's said as deflection, that's said to keep us all placidly in Duhville. We already had anti-terrorism laws.

OMG I don't know whether to laugh or cry at all you're going through. Keep us posted on court dates. Think it will be televised? Somehow I don't think so.
