I've become numb to every new law the government wants to introduce without debate or votes.

I am surprised more people haven't said anything about this .

I always assumed people knew about this. I get a newsletter every couple of days from "OpenMedia.ORG" to let people know wtf is going on. They also do a lot of petitions to try and stop this crap. I sign most if not all, and they also push you to contact your local MPs to voice your thoughts on crap like this.

Bill C-2 has now become Bill C-22, really creative lol.

Unacceptable! I emailed my MP and signed a petition. NOT cool

Important to keep an eye on this:

Ottawa Repackages Its Surveillance Backdoor in Bill C-22

Bill C-22 lays the groundwork for a Canadian surveillance state.

I think it is a very big threat on privacy rights. And the old arguments of "I got nothing to hide so I got nothing to worry about" never stands, you still have curtains at home.

One of the big issues of mass surveillance is when it gets into the wrong hands. The government indeed has insider threat working for them, the police has bad actors using their powers to resell services to make extra cash on the side... The data leaks that are constantly happening...

This is going to get really sh*tty really soon...

And the argument about “I have nothing to hide” only last as long as the government still thinks what you are doing is “acceptable” based on the cultural whim of the day. That is standing on shifting sands these days no matter what end of the political spectrum you are on.

The ability of the them to change what powers they have without more debate (I may be wording that wrong) is mind boggling to me.

I could not agree with you more!

Modern day keeps reminding me more and more of reading 1984 back in high school. And something like V for Vendetta kind of world we are headed towards.

The changing of these kinds of powers on a whim is whats truly a huge issue. Its also getting harder and harder to keep up with the *truth* of whats really going on.
