Canadians: protest bill C-11!

[soleiltropiques]

This is a bit old but I didn't see anything on this so I thought I would post this article. I can't believe I haven't heard of this before. Where are the media on this (as in all over it)???

"The Toronto Star & Globe and Mail all ran stories about C-11, not my fault you missed it."

Did I blame you for missing it? You know, I don't know if you're aware of this, but your tone is rather aggressive and condescending here. And I did read the papers -did you read all the papers there were on those days, so as to be qualified to say that it was EVERYWHERE?

I don't read the Toronto Star and Globe and Mail on a regular basis, sorry. I get my news from a variety of sources, several of which are in French.

"Yes, there are problems with C-11, but labeling it Canadian SOPA, which is in the FIRST PARAGRAPH YOU LINKED, is overkill."

All right, you disagree with these articles, that's fine.

Why don't you point to the sections in the bill which go against what these commentators are arguing for (I will also point out here that I was not the writer of the original articles)? Here is a link to the full text of the bill.

The problem I see with your argument is that, while I heartily agree that I'm no legal expert nor an expert on this bill, YOU STILL HAVE NOT REALLY PROVIDED VERY GOOD PROOF OF YOUR ASSERTIONS. You provided a link to one article -so what? I provided links too. Who is to say which is better? With all due respect, I have difficulty accepting your simple assertion that 'your link is better'.

"And yes, okay, point. But do you want to protest a bill that doesn't let you unlock "locked" material you've already bought (which happens anyways and is essentially near impossible to police) or a bill that allows the police to seize your information from your ISP without a warrant? Where's your post on C-30 then, if you're so interested in ~protesting~?"

Oh good grief. You really seem bent and determined on being rude and uncouth here, don't you?

I'm not interesting in *protesting*, as you so condescendingly put it. It is that I think that there are several issues in Canada which we should be protesting, because I think these are of considerable importance.
