The government is trying to push through an expensive1 online spying bill that will provide a range of authorities with access to your private online information, at anytime, without a warrant.
You won’t believe this: With one side of their mouth, the government has leaked stories2 falsely suggesting that they are standing down. With the other, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews has unleashed a PR campaign that includes op-eds3, misleading mass emails4, and speeches in Parliament that aggressively defend the bill5. We can't let this go unchallenged.
We know from experience that MPs get the message when contacted by local constituents, and there’s only a small window of opportunity to stop this scheme. We need your MP to take a public stand against this warrantless online spying plan before it’s too late.

It is scary to learn after the East Coast earth quake that occured recently that people and politicians believe that should the earth quake have been slightly more destructive that this event would have stimulated our sad economy. Here is an interesting video that should shed some light on this concept and stimulate some debate. Stay tuned for more sustainability articles and discussions soon.
