The Conservative government is preparing sweeping new eavesdropping legislation that will force Internet service providers to let police tap exchanges on their systems - but will likely reignite fear that Big Brother will be monitoring the private conversations of Canadians.
Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty tells us what kind of recession we’re in
They’re just making up sh*t as they go along ain’t they?
Jack Layton has once again introduced a climate change bill with (once again) mitigation at its’ heart - when are the mitigation people going to start acknowledging reality and start talking about adaptation?
Stephen Harper dropped his lawsuit against the Liberals in the Cadman affair just weeks before a hearing on whether his emails, notes and agenda could be called into evidence.
