Ive been around enough years and enough countries to be horrified at the full frontal assault on Democracy being perpetrated by Harper and the majority of spineless Conservative MPs who bleat very quietly behind him like sedated sheep. Sadly, (and Im sorry if this offends you) not much better can be said about Canadians, particularly those who put these people in power. I hope to god those people have the decency, if only in private, to say Oh, shit! I made a mistake. p TIME TO START PROTESTING?? In a push that sees Canada move one step closer to a state where being constantly watched, catalogued, and data mined is the norm, the Conservative government recently decided to expand its public surveillance policy to include all protests and demonstrations. The Government Operations Centre sent an email to all federal departments that requested information on even the most mundane social movements. The email then leaked to Postmedia news and opposition parties are now crying afoul, calling the plan a clear blow to democratic freedom.
