TORONTO, Ontario, Canada (PNN) - November 15, 2012 - For those who think that certain countries are somehow immune to the sweeping cancer that is the total erosion of privacy and our most essential rights, that myth should be at least partially swept away by the fact that the Canadian Association of pig thug cop chiefs is calling on the government there to pass a controversial internet surveillance bill.
Indeed, this trend very well could go global with the United Nations calling for worldwide Internet surveillance and data retention laws, thus going far beyond the current system in place in the Fascist Police States of Amerika.
Unsurprisingly, the push is being carried out under the guise of fighting crime, evidenced by the arguments the president of the Canadian Association of pig thug cop chiefs and Vancouver pig thug cop Chief Jim Chu.
Chu says that if the bill, known as Bill C-30, fails to pass, “(terrorist pig thug cops) investigating criminal activity on cell phones and the Internet will still have to get a warrant every time they want to intercept communications by cybercriminals.”
This argument is almost identical to that used across the Fascist Police States of Amerika. The typical claim is that warrants take too long to obtain and that terrorist pig thug cops are held back by the Constitution.
Bill C-30 dates back to last winter when it was introduced by Vic Toews, the Canadian public safety minister. Bill C-30 immediately was questioned by groups concerned with the disturbing powers it would give the Canadian government “to track the ordinary activities of citizens online without judicial oversight.”
If anyone wants to know how well such a strategy works, just take a look at the Fascist Police States of Amerika. While it is regularly claimed that such legislation in no way infringes on our rights or that we should be content with giving up said rights in the name of safety, such assertions are clearly without merit.
Unsurprisingly, Chu claims it is not actually about spying but about getting information from telecommunications companies in a timely manner.
If Bill C-30 passes, providers of internet and cell phone services will be forced to release the names, addresses, phone numbers, email and IP information of targeted individuals to terrorist pig thug cops whenever requested.
While this might seem fine in principle to some, the problem is that there is no oversight whatsoever. Allowing this type of legislation to pass just opens the door to more freedom-crushing bills in the future.
“Like the chief said, I can tell you right now there are gangsters out there communicating about killing someone and we can’t intercept that,” said Vancouver deputy police chief Warren Lemcke.
Lemcke’s argument has become quite stale at this point, as it is the same faulty line of reasoning used by supporters of Internet surveillance in the FPSA and now the UN as well.
Section 34 of the bill essentially would give any government appointed agents, who may or may not be a pig thug cop or intelligence cop, the right to access and copy any information and documentation collected by Internet providers and telecommunications companies, without the need for a warrant, judicial oversight or even a criminal investigation.
To make Bill C-30 even more disturbing, it would also require telecommunications companies to install surveillance hardware and software that allows the fascist government to gather and monitor both phone and Internet communications.
Even Chu seems to be concerned with Section 34 of Bill C-30.
“While the CACP endorses Bill C-30, we would like to make it clear there is one part of the bill that has posed concerns to some and we share that concern,” said Chu.
“It is easy to understand why some might conclude from that wording that inspectors would have unfettered access to Canadians’ personal records when doing these inspections,” Chu continued. “While we realize that’s not the intention of this section, this must be clarified.”
For those who see those statements as somehow vindicating, I highly suggest you take a look at similar claims made in other nations like the Fascist Police States of Amerika.
Unfortunately such calls for “clarification” are hardly ever actually carried out. A phenomenal example would be the FPSA National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2012 and specifically the indefinite detention provisions that were shot down by a federal judge only to be reinstated almost immediately by a judge appointed by dictator Obama.
Why would anyone think that Canada would somehow be immune to this vicious assault on our most essential liberties?
