The Canadian government seems ready to pass 'anti-terrorism legislation' that seems to go even farther than the American version. Vancouver IMC : Bill C-36 "Some of the more insidious aspects include: Preventative Detention: This gives the police the power to throw anyone in jail they choose, without justification or recourse for the detainee ... Access to Information: The right of Canadians to examine the activities of their elected officials be curtailed, but even worse, at least before they had to ask permission to monitor our e-mails, telephone calls, private discussions, etc. Now they can do it without permission." In a related story, Canadian police demand that no 'sunset clause' be included in the legislation. Canaidian police oppose sunset clause. "A national police group spoke out strongly on Thursday against a "sunset clause" in Ottawa's proposed antiterrorism law that would boost their powers, calling for even more support from Ottawa to fight terrorism ... The Canadian Police Association, representing 30,000 police personnel, said it is concerned about the death of the bill in three years, saying instead they might like to see police granted even more powers than those proposed in Bill C-36 ... "For us, the whole terrorism issue is not something that the sun's going to set on ... A sunset clause will, as time passes, diminish the required priority, support and sense of readiness, while sending a signal to terrorists that we are returning to a state of complacenc y."
