Canada's entry to keystone kops police state

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

Toronto, 2012.05.24

Canada's following it's big brother's lead into an era of amateur police statism; it would be funny if .. well, no I guess not.

The current government wants, among other things, to allow the alphabet soup of US "law enforcement agencies" to roam Canada arresting whoever they want. They also want to institute total monitoring of Canada's use of the Internet. Fun times for angry little trolls across the land.

Happily, there are a few people attempting to do something before it's too late.

On the endless saga of Rob Ford, mayor of Toronto; "It shouldn't have had to come to this. I'm so tired of getting up every morning and wondering, 'What will it be today?' I'm so tired of giving the benefit of the doubt again and again, only to be let down again and again.... Somewhere a responsible adult has to appear, draw a bright moral line, tell the truth and say unequivocally what won't be tolerated. Somebody has to do the right thing."
