Well, Canada has become a pretty sleazy place politically. We who are chosen to go to burgeoning democracies to oversee their elections, now appear to be looking at a massive, organized attempt at voter fraud. This in a country where the "winner" claims a "resounding majority" with a mere 40% of the popular vote.
We have a Cabinet Minister, Vic Toews, who wants to pass a bill, C-30 also called "the protecting children from internet predators act," that would allow the Police unfettered access to our internet history, without a warrant. They could just go to your service provider and voila... get your information. Oh, and should your provider tell you that the Police are there asking about you, there's a charge for that too! As Mr. Toews so clearly put it, "you either stand with us or you stand with the child pornographers."
Mr. Toews who presents himself as the "family values" man, the marriage is a sacred bond between a man and a woman fella, the oh... I've been having an affair and she's pregnant guy also! (One of many affairs according to his divorce documents, including one with one of his babysitters!) Yep... this is the guy I'm going to let decided who and how someone gets access to my history.
Anonymous has been releasing videos on Bill C-30 and Vic Toews. The last two claim that while he was Justice Minister for Canada, he promoted a judge in Winnipeg to The Queen's Bench, while he was having an affair with her. They also claim that our Prime Minister found out and shuffled him out of Justice to the Treasury, a demotion. It was sudden, it baffled the press but maybe now we know the reason behind it? Imagine the conflict of interest, the influence peddling and backlash if Mr. Harper actually did know and kept it quiet?
Here's a few links to bring you up to speed if you're not familiar with our Country's current not so proud, apparently soon not to be so free not so glorious goings on!
