Re: RE: Big Brother in Canada
The US would never shut down the border to Canada. We wanted assistance in catching bad guys who fly planes into buildings. Help a brother out would you!
Reverend Blair said:The pressure the US put on our government to tighten security is a reality, Alien. They were talking about closing the border, shutting down trade, etc. Our government caved in.
That was in the news here from the very beginning of this debacle. For you to try to deny it shows a complete lack of knowledge of what happened.
Your denial that it was the left who opposed this shows an ignorance of Canadian politics that seriously undermines any modicum of credibility you might have had. It was Bill Blaikie and the NDP who stood up to oppose the Security Bill. It was also the NDP that spoke out against what would have amounted to an internal passport, the NDP that first spoke out against the illegal arrest and deprtation of Maher Arar, the NDP who have stood up every single time your government put pressure on Canada to take rights and freedoms away from Canadian people because George Bush is a F**k up.
Doubt it? Go read Hansard. It's available on the internet.
