When CBC is reporting this issue, you know it is serious. I applaud as perhaps, finally, they are understanding what is at stake as we try and hold onto our Charter of Rights and Freedoms and maintain economic relations with America and Japan in particular.

Perhaps IM2 or dragonlady will enter this thread and defend Canada. They will also surely defend my homelessness as the courts engage in extraordinary decisions, so extraordinary that I have yet to find the same precedence in any of the Case Law I have read in Ontario and I have been forced to read hundreds of cases.

Americans and Japanese in particular will continue to hear from me even when I become homeless. By G-ds Will I will stand my ground for all good men who sacrificed for our freedom.

Some outfits in Canada are violating its obligations and have been for decades, the difference now is that it is known. All of our Goodwill is in peril. Instead of allowing men like me to help us become a global power that is respected, the Creepy Ones here destroy and force us to become whistleblowers.

Remember this, Honda removing $15B Canadian is just the beginning. I am not a saviour or an enemy, I am a speaker of the truth, no matter how inconvenient. My rights and pursuits are protected or we are exposed.

As usual, notice the response of the overpaid top cop in Ontario, the classic fear line "think of the victims as you surrender your rights to the state!"

Indeed, think of the victims...such as people like myself! These criminals are going to destroy our economy to control and entrap its citizen whenever they see fit.




A Liberal government bill that proposes giving police and spies easier access to information during investigations has fallen into the crosshairs of U.S. tech giants and two American congressional committees, threatening to become the latest irritant in the Canada-U.S. relationship.

The bill, this government’s second attempt at passing lawful access legislation, has already garnered intense domestic scrutiny from privacy and civil rights advocates, and is now attracting attention south of the border.

Late last week, the heads of two American congressional committees sent a letter to federal Public Safety Minister Anandasangaree calling for changes.

Republicans Jim Jordan, chair of the U.S. judiciary committee, and Brian Mast, who oversees the foreign affairs committee, argued the Canadian bill would "drastically expand Canada’s surveillance and data-access powers in ways that create significant cross-border risks to the security and data privacy of Americans."

"American companies operating in Canada would face a difficult choice: compromising the security of their entire user base — including U.S. citizens — or risking exclusion from the Canadian market," the letter said.

"Either outcome harms U.S. national security and economic interests by undermining trust in American technology and inviting reciprocal demands from other nations."

Think of crime victims, says OPP commissioner​

Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police president and Ontario Provincial Police Commissioner Thomas Carrique is paying attention to the U.S. conversation about the bill and looking to respond to the U.S. congress letter.

"We certainly want to make sure that profit margins are not being prioritized over public safety," he said. "And is it because it's costly for service providers to do, or is it truly a privacy issue that warrants further discussion and the appropriate safeguards?"
