Here we go again. A new Bill introduced today will reduce our freedom for the sake of catching a few "gangsters, sexual predators and terrorists" (Ottawa Citizen). I fear excessive police powers far more than I will ever fear any terrorist or other criminal. I will never trade my freedom for any illusion of increased safety, end of story. The cops already have the powers to snoop on anybody as long they can convince a judge the snooping is justified, i.e., the system has checks and balances. It seems that's not good enough for the cops.
