In the monstrous darkness of Harperland, and when I read a poll like this one.
There’s rarely been a bill before Parliament that was more popular. The public Conservatives’ new anti-terror legislation is filling a public demand for tough new measures aimed at a terrorism threat that Canadians believe is serious, and close to home, according to a new poll.
More than four in five Canadians – 82 per cent – back the new legislation to expand the powers of intelligence agencies and police, according to the survey of 1,509 Canadians conducted by the Angus Reid Institute. Far from seeing it as too sweeping, they tend to want more: 36 per cent say it does not go far enough.
I wonder what's happening to my country. And how so many could surrender their freedoms so easily.
So I'm glad to see that a person like Ralph Nader is asking the same question in this open letter to Stephen Harper.
