Guest guest Posted December 31, 2009 Report Share Posted December 31, 2009 forwarding..... King Harper Prorogues.... C-6 is Dead, But Harper Is Still Stalking Our Rights! Wed, 30 Dec 2009 18:22:12 -0500 (Eastern Standard Time) Dee Nicholson <dnicholson I just posted this comment on CBC.ca... IF they dare to post it, please support with a thumbs-up or a comment of your own. They've skipped it for now... but I'm really going to challenge them if they don't publish. Our work is really cut out for us because of this. We have to vet all bills for the erosion of rights and stop them in their tracks, even by injunction if necessary. Bear one thing in mind: IF WE HAD NOT BEATEN C-6 INTO BEING AMENDED, HARPER WOULD HAVE HAD NO REASON TO PROROGUE. (The link to the article follows my comment.) My Comment, posted at 6:10 pm EST: This weasel move by Harper is yet another cheap trick to guarantee that Conservative legislation can be fast-tracked... especially since his fast-track attempt on Bill C-6 got slammed back at him by the Liberal Senators. Many reported that this was political maneuvering by the Liberals, but in fact it was a desperate effort by the Senate to make Harper respect the Constitution and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Bill C-6 had at least 8 blatant violations within it, as did several other bills; in fact C-6 provided the government a way past due process of law, and many lawyers were getting upset. It seems it is now a trend for governments around the world to erode the civil rights of their people in exchange for some spurious promise of " security " . C-6 was only one example, but we've all seen the US scream " terrorist " and everybody jumps to their ridiculous tune, slashing the people's rights away in order to " protect the nation " . Right. To protect the nation from idiots who blow their own package off instead of blowing up an airplane.... and now hundred of thousands of people are being " patted down " rather intimately in case there's a booby trap in their bra or a package in their underwear, and can't even go to the bathroom during the last hour of a US-bound flight? Hope the airlines have free Depends on board.... and get everyone wearing them on takeoff! Torture of Canadian detainees ranks in the top issues, of course... nobody wants to think that any Canadian could be so brutal and vicious. But it's political sleight-of-hand: the real issue is our rights being hacked at, while everybody watches that drama. If Canadians do not wake up and watch these guys, and speak up, one day you'll wake up and won't be able to. _http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/30/parliament-prorogation-harper.h tml#socialcomments_ (http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/30/parliament-prorogation-harper.html#\ socialcomments) _PM seeks Parliament shutdown until March_ (http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/30/parliament-prorogation-harper.html#\ socialcomments) Tories trying to 'shut down democracy,' Liberal MP Goodale says Last Updated: Wednesday, December 30, 2009 | 5:06 PM ET (http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/30/parliament-prorogation-harper.html#\ socialcomments) Comments _2132_ (http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/30/parliament-prorogation-harper.html#\ socialcomments) _Recommend_ (http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/30/parliament-prorogation-harper.html#\ ) _599_ (http://www.cbc.ca/politics/story/2009/12/30/parliament-prorogation-harper.html#\ ) To : _chrisgupta?subject=_ (%20chrisgupta?subject=) To : _chrisgupta?subject=_ (%20chrisgupta?subject=) List information is at: _http://tinyurl.com/2xohw_ (http://tinyurl.com/2xohw) ARCHIVES: _http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/archives.htm _ (http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/archives.htm) Share The Wealth: _http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/_ (http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/chris/) Communication Agents: _http://www.communicationagents.com/_ (http://www.communicationagents.com/) Council Member: Friends of Freedom International & the Canadian Coalition for Health Freedom - _www.friendsoffreedominternational._ (http://www.friendsoffreedominternational.org/) _org_ (http://www.friendsoffreedominternational.org/) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
