ATTACKS NEW REASON TO SUSPEND RIGHTS

In the wake of the London attacks, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister
of Public Safety And Emergency Preparedness Anne McLellan said that
Canada did not appear to be under any specific threat, but security
forces were on "heightened alert."

Does that mean that we have finally taken all of the RCMP officers
who are on "marijuana grow-op duty", and placed them at the borders,
airports, and subways where they belong?

Also, by not legalizing cannabis, our government is knowingly
subsidizing a multi-billion dollar international black market. I am
sure that criminals of all shapes and sizes (even terrorists) are
happy aboutthat.

Also, could someone explain exactly how joining George W. Bush in his
insane plan for a Continental Missile Defence Shield could possibly
help protect us from bombs in subways and busses?

When was the last time a terrorist ever used an intercontinental missile?

I predict that governments around the world (including Canada) will
use this attack as a reason to suspend even more civil rights and
civil liberties. Is this Orwellian nightmare the "freedom" that we
are supposed to be exporting to the middle east?
