Canada gets it own Star Chamber
Canada gets it own Star Chamber: New "anti-terrorism" laws will allow police to arrest and hold "suspects" for 72 hours without a charge, permit the government agency that monitors foreign communications to spy on Canadians, and create "investigative hearings" in which you can be compelled to testify before a judge. Unfortunatly, there is a very good chance that the first "terrorists" detained under these laws will be anti-globalization activists, members of the peace movement, and people who "look Arab" who happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Not surprisingly, these new laws make me feel actually the opposite of safe.
