That Canada Post flips to $194M profit in 2014 www.cbc.ca was my intended topic
Howsomever this article "Conservatives are now calling criticisms of Bill C-51 'conspiracy theories' " grabbed my attention http://www.pressprogress.ca/en/post/conservatives-are-now-calling-criticisms-bill-c-51-conspiracy-theoriesThat Canada Post flips to $194M profit in 2014 www.cbc.ca was my intended topic
The conclusion arrived at in the "Pop quiz", (b), has been replaced by (a) in that Tories to amend anti-terror bill to allay concerns it goes too far.
My thought? You reviewing the criticisms levelled nay better enable you to judge, when amendments are proposed, the degree to which concerns are being met.
________
Pop quiz!
Your government's controversial anti-terror bill is plummeting in public opinion polls. A lot of people are concerned the bill is too vague and too broad, and that it will erode civil liberties and result in unintended consequences. Do you:
(a) Acknowledge their concerns and work speedily to improve the bill?
(b) Claim there's a "widespread misinformation" campaign of "conspiracy theories" at work and that your critics haven't bothered to "read the bill"?
Here's a short list of those expressing concern:
- Former Liberal and Progressive Conservative prime minister's Jean Chretien, Paul Martin, Joe Clark and John Turner (plus several retired Supreme Court justices and ministers of justice).
- More than 100 Canadian law professors.
- The Canadian Bar Association, which represents over 36,000 lawyers across Canada.
- Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien (plus every provincial and territorial privacy commissioner in Canada except New Brunswick).
- BC Premier Christy Clark and the Government of Quebec.
- Former NDP leader Ed Broadbent and former Saskatchewan Premier Roy Romanow.
- National security law experts Craig Forcese and Kent Roach and Internet law expert Michael Geist.
- The editorial boards of the Globe and Mail, National Post, Toronto Star and dozens of local newspapers.
- Environmental groups, labour unions, civil liberties groups and theAssembly of First Nations.
- Conservative allies like the National Firearms Association (it's a "creeping police state") and the Canadian Constitution Foundation.
- Conservative MP Michael Chong and ex-Conservative MP Brent Rathgeber.
- Conrad Black, Ralph Nader, Rex Murphy and David Suzuki.
- Edward Snowden.
- Over 100,000 Canadians who have signed Open Media and Leadnow's petition.
- Thousands of Canadians who protested in dozens of Canadian towns and cities and at Conservative MP's constituency offices.
