Does all of this apply to Canadian citizens?

If you go to the US or any American company has any data on you, definitely.

Our own little patriot act is less intrusive, due mostly to the efforts of Bill Blaikie and the NDP, but still pretty far reaching as well.

That is scarey. That means forget going to the US.

Yea, I think the day that you could meet people from around the world--I live near a national park, so there's a lot of International tourism--is over. People used to want to immigrate to the US to have more rights and opportunities, now they're thinking of emigrating FROM the US :(. America could soon be Canada's Mexico, your thrid-world neighbor.

Yes, empires have come and gone - so will the US empire. The key question is what will transpire before and as the great one declines.

Industrialism has come so far, comparitively, greater than the world has ever experienced before, we are walking in unknown territory.

But first will come the economic blow - the world is polarized against the US (and their partner in crime, Isreal). Britain will become increasingly estranged from the US.

Pay off debt. Gold is good.

This from today - BBC:

Canadian freedoms 'under threat'

Canada's privacy commissioner has warned in her annual report that personal freedoms in the country are being eroded by the "war on terror".

Jennifer Stoddart told parliament that as agencies collected more information on people, there were higher risks that travellers would be treated unfairly.

The kinds of security measures taken by the US came in for particular scrutiny.

Better solutions might lie in using existing information more effectively, she added.

Ms Stoddart said recent US pressure on the Canadian government to share information with US authorities about all people travelling to Canada meant there was more of a possibility that people would be wrongly singled out and treated unfairly.

She warned that mistakes had already been made, possibly referring to the high-profile case of Arab-Canadian Maher Arar who was was deported to Syria by the US.

The report also raises concerns about the growing use of private companies by government national security agencies to collect personal information about individuals.

The province of British Columbia has already launched an inquiry into the issue.

This was prompted by fears that a US healthcare company could have access to personal information about Canadians and then be forced under the American Patriot Act to turn that information over to US agencies such as the FBI.

It's good that the story was picked up by an international news agency. hopefully the European countries will put some pressure on Paul Martin not to cozy up to the US too much.

The elite do not think of people as human beings. Just look past to the CIA sponsored crack/cocaine epidemic.

It will be darker than the world has ever seen before.

Yes they are, Apollo. Every little bit of information, every person that talks back, every government that refuses to talk back...everthing no matter how small...helps to counter it.
