Thought Canada was above this sort of crap. WTF. Where are Americans meant to threaten to move to when the next right wing nutbag gets elected president if you guys up north can't get your shit together!

Two words Engels: Stephen Harper.

Yeah, he's been doing this for a while. If you have a majority government, you can pretty much do anything you want. Similar to how a super majority works in the US, except there's not a lot you can do to delay or stop it.

He just passed two new bills C-51 and C-24 which are "anti terror" bills. 51 pretty much gives the gov't the ability to spy on citizens and gives our intelligence service the powers of the police. They can arrest anyone, and not have a whole lot of evidence or reason to. The other, C-24, has created a two tier citizenship. First class citizens can never have your citizenship stripped, while second class citizens can.

What makes you a second class citizen? Not being born in Canada, being a dual citizen anywhere, or being eligible for being a dual citizen anywhere makes it so you can have your citizenship taken away. For example, my mom was born in Denmark, I am still eligible for citizenship there, ergo, I am now a second class citizen. =)

It's pretty fucked, most conservatives are opposing both bills along with the rest of the damn country. =\

So goes all specialist endeavors when society decides for better or worse that an area of expertise is no longer needed.

I'd rather be prepared for it and adapt quickly, than be featured in a documentary decrying the injustice of it all.
