Canada's Sweeping Law to Spy on Canadians

      November 2005

      Canada prepares a sweeping law to spy on its citizens called The
      Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act.


      The sweeping surveillance bill introduced in Parliament November 15,2005
      called The Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act is a gross
      violation of Canadian civil liberties, of our Charter of Rights and
      Freedoms, and of our Constitutional entitlements. It must not be tolerate
      . Every politician who supports it is an enemy of Canada, our people, and
      our freedom. Every Canadian who cares about his/ her liberty must take a
      stand now. It is truly a question of liberty vs a police state. This Act
      is an attack on not only freedom of speech, but freedom of thought. It is
      Orwell's 1984 coming to fruition.

      The Canadian Action Party months ago requested a copy of this bill, but
      our government has failed to release it to us. The only details of the
      terms of the pending bill that we gleaned came from the media, both
      mainstream and internet. The philosophy and real reasons for it we have
      learned by examining the following documents which we obtained from the
      internet. (Will this Bill threaten or restrict our capability to conduct
      such research in the future? Am I to be defined as a "terrorist" for
      challenging it?)


      1. The discussion paper of the Canadian Council of Chief Executives poste
      on their website November 2, 2005 called, "Building a 21st Century Canada
      United States Partnership in North America, April 2004".

      2. "The Canada-US Smart Border Declaration" with a 30 point
action Plan
      signed December 12,2001.

      3. "The Security and Prosperity Partnership Agreement"
signed by Presiden
      Bush, President Fox and Martin in March, 2005.

      4. "The Report of Ministers to the Leaders" (President
Bush, President
      Fox, Prime Minister Martin) -SPP- (Security and Prosperity Partnership)-
      North America, June 2005


      See: http://www.fac.gc.ca/spp/SPP-report.PDF or go to the main and then t
      the report:

      Anne McLellan, Deputy Prime Minister of Canada, David Emerson, Minister o
      Industry, and Pierre Pettigrew, Minister of Foreign Affairs are the
      reporting Ministers for Canada.

      5. Report of the Independent Task Force on the Future of North America
      called "Building A North American Community."

      See: Trilateral Task Force Recommendations

      These reports and agreements reveal a very disturbing fact. Prime Ministe
      Martin and his Ministers are not setting policy for Canada. They are
      taking instructions from the USA's president Bush and doing his bidding.
      The background force driving all the Leaders of Canada, Mexico and USA ar
      the Chief Executive officers of the most influential corporations of thos
      three countries.

      The most influential chief executive officers of the three nations want a
      unified North America by 2010. They need an enforcement system. This bill
      to spy on good citizens, especially those who will dissent and oppose thi
      system, is one prong of that policing mechanism.

      In the "Report of Ministers to the Leaders" -SPP- North America, June
      2005, (number 4 above) the Ministers report that on March 23, 2005 the
      three Leaders of Canada, Mexico and USA instructed their respective
      Ministers to create an "architecture" which would further enhance the
      security of North America. The report of the Ministers refers to the
      commitment of the Three Leaders on March 23, 2005 to "Establish a common
      approach to security to protect North America from external threats,
      prevent and respond to threats within North America....".

      The Ministers report that experts from the three countries met between
      March and June of 2005 developing specific plans and objectives to meet
      the common security goals in an "evolving and strengthening North America
      Relationship". The Ministers report that they have established plans to
      enhance partnerships on intelligence and information sharing including
      developing a comprehensive law enforcement strategy.

      The United States just recently passed their internet spying law. My gues
      is the language of The Modernization of Investigative Techniques Act is
      modeled on the USA Internet spying act, just as our anti terrorism law,
      our Anti Terrorism Act, mirrors the USA Patriot Act .

      The Canada -US Smart Border Declaration was signed December 12, 2001 by
      John Manley when he was Deputy Prime Minister and Tom Ridge US Homeland
      Security Director. Point 24 of this 30 point action plan refers to Joint
      Enforcement Coordination- a comprehensive and permanent coordination of
      law enforcement , anti terrorism efforts and information sharing. Point 2
      is about Integrated Intelligence- joint teams to analyze and disseminate
      information and intelligence, and to produce threat and intelligence
      assessments.

      This internet, e mail, cell phone spying is not about pornography as Anne
      McLellan whitewashes to sell it. Her hypocrisy here is as guilty as the
      duplicity found out it the Gomery report on fiscal corruption in the
      system.
      '
      The 9/11 justification is wearing more than thin. What the ministers call
      "architecture", I call the trappings of a police state. I
do not want it.
      No Canadians were asked if we wanted it. No Canadians were asked if we
      wanted a regime change into an unaccountable unelected North American
      Union ruled by Orwellian laws that imprison us. The Empire of Surveillanc
      must be struck down! All Canadians are entitled to security and
      prosperity, not imprisonment and poverty.
