Write your MP ASAP. This bill is unacceptable, unconstitutional, and unCanadian.

From what I read yesterday, it gives law enforcement more options when dealing with organized crime at borders.

So you started with "there's no reason to appease the US," and have now landed on, "they say they're trying to appease the US by giving them things they want, but they don't really mean it"?

And that ignores all of the other things in this bill that are about immigration, and asylum seekers, and being able to sieze peoples' mail, and forcing online providers to give up user data, all of which reach way beyond organized crime.

Is your assertion that organized crime does not involve abuse of the Immigration system, Postal service, or online service providers?

all of which reach way beyond organized crime.

C'mon, don't insult us both by pretending you can't read.

That is not an answer to my question. If you want to have a conversation about something learn not to be so combative and try communicating your thoughts when asked about them.

Okay, if you need it spelled out for you, I didn't say organized crime never involves abuse of the immigration system, postal service, or online service providers. I said the bill reaches well beyond that goal (if indeed that is the goal, which is questionable to say the least).

Go construct your straw men some place else.

How does it reach "well beyond that goal"?

Do you believe current legislation is good enough in regards to combating abuse of our systems?

What would you amend in the bill to deal with what you perceive as a problematic?
