Anti-terror bill to be scaled back as Tories bow to criticism

CBC News has learned the government will propose a handful of amendments to Bill C-51 starting Tuesday.

The government wants to limit the kind of protests which would be captured by the bill by narrowing the scope of activities qualifying as terrorist acts.

The government amendment will also clarify that CSIS agents will not have the power to arrest.

More to come

That is a good sign but that bill would never have passed a supreme court challenge anyway. Harpo knew that from the beginning. Makes me wonder what he really has up his sleeve.

Alberta's Oil drillers brace for traditional spring slowdown next fall -- or longer

 

[petros]

Big deal. Fix YOUR Province.

2bbl @ $50 a pop has the same profit as 1. Any volume increases?

Should oil have stayed overinflated @ $100+bbl as Martin initiated?

Yes, no, or post a retarded gif?

P.S.

Where is the SK doom and gloom?

What difference does it make when only 5 people live there?

You don't think that meby some of that crap was put there so the torys could take it out later and LOOK like they give a **** what the peons might think ?

Us 5 are doing much much much better than anyone else. Fix your Province son.

love it. If the tories push it through as is, which they can if they wanted to, they get shyte on. If they listen and make some amendments, they get shyte on.

So, tell me, how do you want the Tories to run Parliament?

 

[petros]

Running is labour intensive. They want the Tories to swagger. Oh wait. They already do,

 

[Cliffy]

Did not Harpo get in with a promise of open, honest transparent government and has he not done just the opposite? How about they run parliament the way they promised to, instead of all this subterfuge, dishonesty and corruption. Harpo runs this country like his own private country club.

 

[petros]

What subterfuge? What dishonesty? What corruption?

Leftys think everyone is as corrupt and incompetent as them.

Since when is the Supreme court the government ?
I believe it is their job to interpret the law put before them

Hmmn open and transparent government . Where have you ever seen that ? Even in your commune you don't have open and transparent government .

Perhaps they should try not to **** on the charter to begin with. Then they and their supporters wouldn't look so ridiculously and epically stupid. Who am I kidding? They would find some other way to look stupid.

Absolutely. I hold them to a higher standard than the Liberals or NDP could ever meet.

For weeks Stephen Harper and his Cons have been insisting that their dangerous anti-terrorism bill C-51 is perfect and doesn't need any changes.

And ridiculing anyone who suggested otherwise.............

 

[petros]

What is being changed? Any idea?
