So they can listen to any conversation to determine if the person is involved with criminal activity. There are a great deal more ways to go around it then to let them have access to all private communication. That's why warrants were needed in the first place.

There are also exigent circumstances that is used in Canada for emergency situations. My understanding of this bill is that no private citizen can now bring about a law suit against a private telecommunication company for intercepting their coommunication, even if there is no illegal offences occurring.

This sure takes away a great deal of privacy and rights for the legal, law abiding citizens.

Terrorism is huge in Canada as well. If you think Canada has not been a target, I can a sure you we have. But there are many ways to fight terrorism without taking away the rights of the decent, law abiding citizens, which there are more of then terrorists or drug dealers.

IMO, terrorists should have automatic death penalty and drug dealers should have death penalty on second offence. Maybe it won't look so appealing to be involved with criminal activity.

Acts of terrorism have been happening for a long time, 911 made it out right visible that it's still active. Todays communication via television, radio, internet, etc makes it more real for the average citizen. What about Pearl Harbour.... that in itself was an act of terrorism in my opinion.



Using exigent circumstances, one could obtain records in a heart beat without a warrant. It's done on a daily bases, for the best interest and safety of public interest.
