Shows how dumb people in Gov't can be. If at this point you don't know your computer usage can be traced, you don't deserve 150K in salary

If as reported, 95% of requests for information are already accommodated, why do we need a new law?

There is bigger fish to fry without invading the little people..Apply the laws that allready exist quit wasting our time and $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

How about a bill that lets citizens look into all Parties and politicians online activity,you know so we can see if they`re pedophiles.

OUCH Don't Ya Hate That When It Happens LOL.. :)

So did I just read that John Baird and the Conservative Party are now calling invading someone's privacy online a "nasty, dirty internet trick?" Did he just say it is wrong for a (implied) paid politician to use their office to expose someone's personal information without the person's knowledge or consent?

Why is people turning this into a moral case? It's not about morality. Its about basic rights. Yes, the security of children is important. But what about the security of every other Canadian? This law is very intrusive which will give the police the power to get access to your personal information with out a warrant. AND if the spyware that they are forcing internet service providers falls into the wrong hands (i.e. hackers who steal information and sell them in the black market), that your life down the drain.

In case people already forgot about that identity theft fiasco with CIBC a couple of years ago, my father was one of the people whose identity was stolen. All of the sudden, we just got a call from the Bank of Montreal... in Quebec... seeking confirmation about a loan application (that they got suspicious about). The fraudsters got ALL my Dad's information, his SIN, his driver's license, etc. Everything. The only thing they got wrong was our address because the CIBC file was from before we moved to another house. The RCMP got involved in the case and pretty much ruined my Dad's credit rating even though it wasn't his fault. Plus the hassle that all big transactions and loans he were to make in the next two years after the incident had to be cleared though the RCMP first.

Imagine if hackers are able to access the network that the police uses. That's all your information out for grabs in the black market courtesy of the Government of Canada... because we all know how good they are with defending from those Chinese hackers that managed to breach Ottawa's security to get information about PotashCorp, right?

So many of you here think it is Harper's Law. You are all wrong. It is an International Law to be apply almost everywhere. The USA came out and encouraged the rest of the World to join this law. They don't give a shit about your porn movies, security, predators. It is all about our money, they will control all your banking, work places, all your investments and financial movements. If, you leave Canada to Italy or Sweden both Governments can check all your messages, emails, phone conversations, your bank/accounts activities and if, they find some cash deposits or any other investments activities in your banking system, they will check if, you work there legally or for cash only, your tax claims, your all foreign permits and you are a tax fraud and a suspect. Money, money, money.

The bill is still unconstitutional !

Ottawa Citizen you playing with fire..DONT FK(K with the people....If the gov doesnt want us to have privacy..then why they should have it themselves?. Im sure many but many ministers have a lot to hide ..so better dont pass the stupid law.

What? I was just fooling around on an open pc in the house of commons.....

do unto others as you would to yourself.

WOOOOH! BRAVO! What a bada$$ detective work you've done! Pat yourself of the back OC. Like nobody knew that inside information comes from THE INSIDE!!!

I'll let you stick a surveillance camera up my #$%$ if you let me stick one up yours, sounds fair, no ?

It doesn't make any less true, does it?

This bill is more intrusive to privacy than the gun registry and long form census combined. Shame on the Conservatives for even considering such an invasion of personal freedom and privacy.

Since when did Twitter become the focus of mainstream media ? If I am famous now and I Tweet about my latest fart , suddenly , people in over 100 countries know all about it.

Go ahead, do an inquiry. All of the information that was "leaked" was open to the public through the courts....someone just decided to tweet them. Nothing illegal there.
Also, I find it interesting that the Citizen is practicing the kind of tactics that breach citizen's privacy that is bill proposes, namely linking IP addressed to individuals and their location.

Isn't having sex with a minor considered rape?

Toews's invading of everyones Private info on our computers has come back in his face
