Bullshit

Soap box time my Pretties,

In the past two month the Internet has gone through some fairly tumultuous times. First was the SOPA and PIPA fiasco in the U.S. and now us Canadians are experiencing some of our own cyberspace controversy regarding our online privacy.

Today our Public Safety Minister Vic Teows came a little closer to seeing Bill C-30 become reality. If Bill C-30 is passed would significantly change how government agencies are able to access our online information. As it stands now our phone records, internet habits and cell phone gps are private knowledge, and government agencies such as the RCMP need to attain a court ordered warrant to gain access to this information. Vic and the Conservative government are proposing that government agencies be granted unlimited access to this information via Bill-30, completely circumventing court oversight.

Does anyone else see a problem with this?

This is scary Gestapo shit folks and if you think I'm wrong then let me put it into context for you.

Lets us suppose that Minister Teows' Bill C-30  comes to pass.....

Let us also suppose that some where in the near future it becomes illegal to watch, read or listen to anything using the word "fuck".

The word "fuck" is illegal because the promiscuous nature of the word goes against the current governments ultra conservative stance on sex, drugs and all things awesome.

Using Bill C-30 our  near future government is able to track and read your text messages, read your emails and monitor what you watch online and so on ... 

Now lets suppose that the government bides its time, and using Bill C-30 makes a list of all those people who have used the word "fuck"online, or via text, and with that list the government proceeds to arrest everyone on that list....

Ok I'm being a little dramatic, but bad things happen if we let them and Bill C-30 in its current form is a baaaad thing. If you kinda care then read this article by Micheal Geist, it outlines what of shenanigans Teows and the current government are trying to get up to.

Now that you have read Geist's article and are as appalled as I am, its time to write your MP and tell them that you do not like whats going on! Fucking do it, get on your soap box and spew!!  Become apart of the system of checks and balances that prevents any entity within our government from having too much power...

Oh yeah fuck Enbridge too and taxes and errrr, umm is there anyway we can band together and outlaw the Vancouver Canucks and Taylor Swift?

Sleep well my Pretties
