[Gaia]

According to the CBC:

Canada's electronic spy agency sifts through millions of videos and documents downloaded online every day by people around the world, as part of a sweeping bid to find extremist plots and suspects, CBC News has learned.

Details of the Communications Security Establishment project dubbed "Levitation" are revealed in a document obtained by U.S. whistleblower Edward Snowden and recently released to CBC News.

Gaia, you should see what Harpers is going to give to our CIA as powers. They will be allowed all kind of things, and it is supported in surveys by a majority of the population. I heard it on the radio this morning. Disgusting. It is enough to go into despair.

And we, tax payer, pay for all this.

Got to go to work, cannot give the exact laws right away.


Prime Minister Stephen Harper heads to Richmond Hill for the much-anticipated unveiling of his government's latest bid to boost the powers of Canada's law enforcement and intelligence agencies to monitor, track, and, as reported by CBC News last night, even preemptively disrupt the activities of suspected terrorists and terrorist sympathizers.



Although the bill itself will, of course, must be tabled in the House of Commons, which is expected to take place shortly after noon, the advisory for today's event makes it clear that, as far as the government is concerned, that's little more than a bit of parliamentary paperwork, as the two ministers to be charged with shepherding the bill through the House — Public Safety Minister Steven Blaney and Justice Minister Peter MacKay — are slated to join the prime minister at the Toronto-area event.
Back in Ottawa, MPs will spend one final day debating the pros and cons of the previous anti-terror bill, which was introduced last fall just weeks after the Oct. 22 shootings, and will expand the reach of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to conduct operations outside Canada.

Well, the radio/tv/newspaper/internet/etc says that most Canadians support it.

Canadians may look around and ask themselves who exactly is supporting it, as it isn't them.

They can fake the surveys, or fudge the numbers, or use NLP (neuro linguistic programming) on the phrasing of the survey's questions. Or all three.
