Message 1594074 - Posted: 29 Oct 2014, 22:15:48 UTC - in response to Message 1593748.  

Now I am all for ensuring a state does not move too far down the road of a controlling dictatorship with some smattering of democracy, but there comes a point when to enjoy our freedoms we must accept the state has to take certain, controlled, actions in order to protect the state and it's citizens.

I would agree that there is a fine line between monitoring, control and a semblance of a police state, but the left wing idea of doing nothing is simply not an acceptable position either.

The irony of this is that that many left wing policies of the past are partly to blame for the current state of affairs, however I would also add that many more right wing foreign policies are just as to blame in all western nations.

So instead of blaming the left or the right, why doesn't everyone simply grow the hell up and start communicating to evolve a solution that meets all the concerns of all parties...

The current policies are good enough. Canada already has all the policies in place to monitor and track potential terrorists, like they did with the guy that ended up shooting this soldier and attacking parliament. He was on a watchlist and thats why he couldn't get a passport to go to Syria or Libya or whatever, to join the extremists.

What would more government surveillance have done to prevent this?

Furthermore, lets not overstate the threat of terrorism. So yeah, there have been two attacks in Canada now and two people have died. Compared to the dozen of other things that can kill people, terrorism is only an extremely minor insignificant threat. Yet the standard response is to take far reaching measures that significantly breach peoples privacy to combat a threat that is only so minor.



And a Dutchman is lecturing me on Canada why??

I do not need a lecture about terrorism..fought enough and witnessed enough terrorism first hand to know how dangerous and insidious inaction is.

Let's see

"paranoia strikes deep, into your mind it will creep, it starts when your always afraid, step out of line, the man comes and takes you away"....

Those who would trade their Liberty for security shall not get security and will not have any Liberty....

The only thing you have to Fear is Fear itself....

terror is a state of mind, succumb to it and trade your Liberty for it's suppression then you have given them the victory and upper hand they seek....
Never engage stupid people at their level, they then have the home court advantage.....
