In the UK, I think the big-brother government has been gradually preparing people for more and more controls over the past ten years, so each time their freedoms are eroded, it is no longer cause for alarm, and it is all in the name of keeping things "safer." In Canada, the government hasn't been doing that nearly as much, and we haven't been subway-bombed yet, so I think there'd be more resistance to it. And the people we imprison without recourse to trial, well, they're not really Canadian, anyways, and they must have done something wrong, right? For us to imprison them, right? And they have long names that are difficult to pronounce, and probably they have dark skin, or something scary, right? Oooh, but once they start to imprison real Canadians without recourse to proper justice, well, then we'll get REALLY pissed.<div class="comment-remix-meta"><a href="#" class="replyto" onclick="replyto('102367','JonZor'); return false;">Reply</a> - <a href="#" class="quote" onclick="quote('102367','JonZor','I don\'t think it would go down in Canada, at least at the moment.
