PM Harper's US Police State Internet Spying Ring
Canadians need to tell the Canadian Government to stop trying to be like the
US terrorist government with their Police State.
The government is trying to sneak through a dangerous and costly set of
online spying bills. If passed, these bills will create a mandatory new
registry of your private electronic data and force you to pay for it. Most
people don’t know about the invasive online spying bills that will be rammed
through Parliament this fall, so Canadians are stepping up to the plate,
using social media and online videos to educate their fellow citizens. Those
lobbying in favour of this scheme have even asked for the power to dictate
how mobile devices are made and how online services work, so that they can
force providers to hand over information from text messages, email,
cellphones, and online activity. Unchecked mass surveillance is a breach of
our fundamental right to privacy
Harpers Freinds in the US government want Canada too as a police state,
spying on you - Thursday, September 15, 2011
The government is set to ram through a new set of electronic surveillance
laws that will allow authorities to access private information of any
Canadian, at any time, without a warrant.
You'll be forced to pay for this online spying scheme. The government has
failed to inform Canadians about the privacy and data security implications
of this scheme, but Canadians are stepping up to the plate.
Citizen-made videos try to let the public know what is going on—let's stand
together and make our voices heard. The Vancouver-based communication
watchdog agency has launched three PSA-style videos online warning Canadians
about a proposed bill that would allow authorities to access their private
information.
Bill C-52 would allow Internet service providers to give police access as
well as governments, national and international to user information,
including addresses, phone numbers and information from their IP address.
This information includes websites they have visited and people they have
talked to online – all without a warrant.
The mainstream media is down playing this as just another PSAs by
OpenMedia.ca to be satirical depictions of various situations where
expectations of privacy are violated. But in reality this is something to be
very concerned about.
According to OpenMedia.ca's communications manager, the videos were a way to
get Canadians to discuss the bill and find out about the consequences that
they will be facing if it is not taking serious.
Lindsey Pinto stated "We want to videos to encourage Canadians to stand up
for online rights, engage the broader public and bring awareness."
In one of the videos, a woman answers her phone and is approached by a
police officer who grabs the phone and listens in to the conversation. In
another, the police officer is found in an apartment rummaging through the
fridge. All the videos end with the statement, "you wouldn't let a police
officer do this without a warrant."

The bill, which has been defended by Terrorist loving Public Safety Minister
Vic Toews, who's only goal is protecting American government terrorism as
far as a police state goes, was proposed as a way to investigate and prevent
criminal electronic communications. But privacy watchdogs say the bill would
give police carte blanche to view private information. Including medical
records and other information being illegally used.

information.

"It's warrantless, evasive and costly," said Pinto. "The bill would have
huge implications on your freedoms. We want people to use the internet to
the fullest extent possible without having to worry about authorities
obtaining the information without a warrant."
Pinto said she hopes Canadians become more aware about the bill and pressure
the government to listen and get rid of the proposed bill.
"We hope to forward the idea of openness and engage Canadians in order to
make sure the Internet stays open," she said.

Most people don’t know about the invasive online spying bills that will be
rammed through Parliament this fall, so Canadians are stepping up to the
plate, using social media and online videos to educate their fellow
citizens. Those lobbying in favor of this scheme (police State) have even
asked for the power to dictate how mobile devices are made and how online
services work, so that they can force providers to hand over information
from text messages, email, cellphones, and online activity.
This scheme will hinder Internet choice, hurt small businesses, and hit the
wallets of ordinary Canadians.

We oppose mandatory Internet surveillance and police state in Canada. This
scheme is poorly thought out, costly, and will leave our personal
information less secure. Unchecked mass surveillance is a breach of our
fundamental right to privacy. Call them or write or signed the petiton, to
let these elected terrorists in Canada know that you are not going to
tolerate their US government type of terrorism be used on you.

If we don’t act now to spread the word, it will become nearly impossible to
stop online spying. Visit
http://openmedia.ca/educate today and share it
with everyone you know. For the open, affordable, surveillance-free
Internet.
This US type of terrorism on the people by the Canadian government that is
trying to ram through an anti-Internet set of electronic surveillance laws
that will invade your privacy and cost you money. The plan is to force every
phone and Internet provider to surrender our personal information to
"authorities" without a warrant.
This bizarre legislation will create Internet surveillance that is:
Warrantless:
A range of "authorities" will have the ability to invade the private lives
of law-abiding Canadians and our families using wired Internet and mobile
devices, without a warrant or any justification. Invasive and Dangerous: The
laws leave our personal and financial information less secure and more
susceptible to cybercrime. Costly: Internet services providers may be forced
to install millions of dollars worth of spying technology and the cost will
be passed down to YOU.
If enough of us speak out now the government will have no choice but to stop
this mandatory online spying scheme. Sign the petition now, and forward it
to everyone you know.
