Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper vowed to take away the rights of average citizens in response to a random crazy person's attack on the Country's parliament. In what is being reported as signalling a shift to "American-style anti-terror tactics," Harper called for Canada's laws and police powers to be "strengthened in the areas of surveillance, detention and arrest." "We live in a dangerous world. Terrorism has been here with us for a while, and we've come dangerously close on a number of occasions," he said. Of course, "strengthening police powers" means taking away individual's rights, which is precisely what he is proposing by advocating for an expansion of Canada's own Patriot Act-style legislation. In short, the actions of one criminal will be exploited to take away the rights of everyone else in no way connected to the attack. So much for the "measured response" Canada's been praised for in the aftermath of this shooting. |
