    I don’t think you understand how this works right now…which is also another reason this article is misrepresenting the situation. Currently, Canada relies heavily on US intelligence for our own domestic law enforcement. Meaning, we get our information from them. Not the other way around.

    The problem with this arrangement is it makes Canada dependent on the US for a lot of the intelligence we need, in order to track and apprehend criminals in our own country. Bill C-22 is supposed to be our home-grown solution to that problem. They want Canada to have the same spying capabilities that the US already has.

    See, they don’t need us. We need them. This bill doesn’t help them. It helps Canada be less reliant on them. The entire way this situation is being framed by this article is completely disingenuous. They are misinforming you about the facts by flipping the script here.

        No. I’m not “in favor of mass surveillance”.

        I’m just also not in favor of media misrepresenting the facts in order to manipulate public opinion. This bill is already bad. There’s no need to lie about it, in order to convince people of that.
