Vic Toews and the Bill that Wouldn't Die

OMG. That'll teach me to stroll through a graveyard in Con Canada, when a Harper moon is in the sky.

First I read that Vic Toews' internet snooping bill had quietly died.

The Internet surveillance legislation sponsored by Public Safety Minister Vic Toews has disappeared down a dark legislative hole. For all intents and purposes, the bill is dead. 

And then when I read this story I wanted to shout hooray for the internet !!!!!! 

The straw that likely broke the camel’s back was when Public Safety Minister Vic Toews said that critics “can either stand with us or with the child pornographers.” Furious with the idea that fighting for the right to privacy somehow equates to support for child pornography, Canadians of all stripes participated in a massive Internet campaign to kill the bill.

Or scream hooray for freedom !!!! Because if that sinister bill had passed it would turned us into a police state.

Or just sing  the song from the Wizard of Oz.

"Ding Dong, the Wicked Bill is dead...wake up sleepy head, get out of bed.

And PARTY !!!!!!!!

Toews has gone where the goblins zombies go....Below, below, BELOW."

But then just as I was preparing to get drunk celebrate.... the Harper moon came out, the babysitter screamed, and Vic Toews stumbled out of his crypt screaming "My Bill is still ALIVE !!!!!!!

Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is denying reports that the Harper government intends to quietly shelve its controversial online surveillance bill, C-30.

Speaking to reporters on Wednesday morning, Toews insisted the legislation was moving ahead.

Gawd. Can you believe that eh? That old Con zombie never gives up...

And of course, neither should we.

Vic Toews should be fired, since he is clearly out of control.

And for the sake of what's left of our democracy, somebody should pick up a shovel.

And bury that fascist bill once and for all...
