Excellent article. We seem to be drifting away from civil rights that matter.

Thank you Ms. Simons, excellent article and I agree with everything until the end. I think you are much to kind to this Liberal government. It is not incompetence. The Liberals are demonstrating time and again an absolute disregard for personal privacy and free speech rights. Just in the last year: emergency act where people still have their bank accounts frozen and can't pay bills, including mortgages, because of a donation, internet censorship bills (follow Michael Geist) and now this. They do not respect personal freedoms and our courts tend to side with government vs individuals in these fights, certainly with exceptions, using the "demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society" language. It needs to stop and we need to push back harder. Thanks for bringing this to light but I believe your conclusions are far to soft on this government.
