Paranoia does wonderful things for taming the beast. Individuals spend money like there is no tomorrow, and virtually any freedom is willingly surrendered in exchange for the illusion of security. Those in power take credit for a healthy economy while passing a lot of controversial and self-serving Bills that give them more power.

In the recent spot light are Security Certificates that allow the Government of Canada to lock up anyone without charges, legal representation, or any other rights granted to Canadians under the Charter of Rights. (Original CBC Story)

I missed the name of the pro-security certificates individual interviewed for this story so I’m not making a name reference. What he fails to realise is that EVERYONE has the potential to be a terrorist. There is no terrorist gene. It’s a product of society. Issuing “Security Certificates” for “potential terrorists” is a witch hunt; An indicator that our country is heading down a dangerous road where Freedom is left behind, eventually to disappear in the rear view mirror.
