    This is similar to proposed legislation in Canada. The big difference is, our government (which enjoys wedge issues), named the act Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act, and claimed anyone against having warrentless searches "...can either stand with us or with the child pornographers". The bill includes no mention of children or predators except in the short title of it, but does allow for government authorized fishing.
    Fishing?

    Phishing?

    Fisting?
    No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      I almost used the term 'phishing', but my understanding is that it pertains to identity theft. Fishing, in this instance, refers to casting a wide net, without a warrent and unfettered by privacy concerns, with the possability of finding a criminal enterprise. The Bill, as it stands going into committee, does not restrict such searches to law enforcement agents.
      There's nothing wrong with the dream, my friend, the problem lies with the dreamer.

        I'm a bit curious - wuld it be unconstitutional to call this person a liar, a scumbag, an idiot and a person that takes abused children as hostages to promote his personal agenda ?
        With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

          I'm not sure which person you are referring to but if it is Vic Toews (the Justice Minister that was quoted) the answer would be no. All of those things would apply and you are allowed to say it.

          Toews took the Bill off the table so he too "stands with child pornographers". A fact he should be reminded of often.

            Naw, It was actually a bit unfair - canucks are after all some kind of civilized, I was pretty sure that it would be allowed to call him all of that - what really puzzled me was that he apparently wasn't beaten down in the way

            Keep up the good work.

              How far should libel and slander laws be permitted to go?
