Harper Conservatives' relentless attack on the internet

VPD credits Australian law in cracking child porn case

1/19/2011

Vancouver police say the child porn case against a former private school teacher started in Australia.

Christopher Ingvaldson worked at St. Georges before he faced a number of charges for possesing and distributing child porn.

Speaking at the VPD's board meeting, Vice Detective Kate Caprarie says Australian police have tools to get information that officers in Canada just don't have.

"If you are arrested for any time of cyber crime in Australia, you must give up your username and password," Caprairie said. "I can only dream of that here in Canada."

Caprarie adds that law helped Australian police crack a child porn Facebook group, which led to search warrants around the world - including Vancouver.

She says Ingvaldson was arrested as a result of that warrant.

Of course it says it found someone with child pornography so it sounds great. But it means they could simply arrest anyone to impersonate them on the internet. Following the trend of arresting people and taking their assets. I just know authorities will use such laws for any purpose they can get away with, disregarding original intent.

Does anyone have any recent updates on the status of these bills? If the government falls this week, we might be saved from them!

All 4 parties are the same. I had Olivia Chow at my door the other day. We said a quick hello and recognized each other. I must say, she is much more attractive in person.

I chatted with one of her volunteer's for a good while. I spoke about G20, S 13 and that guy we can't mention. He seemed keen to learn more. Said he'd get back to me real soon. Cue the crickets...

At this point, I want to see those bills die. That is imperative.

Looks like you might get your wish.

It's the best news of the impending election.

Trying to find the bills so I can see if they have reached Royal Assent. Here's hoping they can still die.

I think the only 'new' bill that might get through would be this one.

C-22
An Act respecting the mandatory reporting of Internet child pornography by persons who provide an Internet service
3rd reading (Senate) March 3, 2011

[pirapoi]

This one did receive Royal Assent about 3 months ago.

C-27 Electronic Commerce Protection Act
Reintroduced as C-28. Received Royal Assent: December 15, 2010

On May 11, 2004, the Government launched Canada's Task Force on Spam. I was honoured to participate on the Task Force, which unanimously recommended anti-spam legislation its report issued on May 17, 2005. Yesterday - 2038 days after the release of the report - Bill C-28, the anti-spam bill, received royal assent.

I hope it doesn't, but it is probably one of the least dangerous ones.

It is disgusting that we had to pray for the government to fall to save us from the crap legislation the Harper Conservatives foisted on us.

The truth is that the bureaucracy, ( the control freaks who run the government) are the real people pushing this legislation and it doesn't matter which party wins the next election similar or even worse laws will be introduced and eventually passed. At least Harper has somewhat stood up to these unaccountable leftwing social engineers and has fired two or three of the worst offenders which resulted in tremendous criticism from MSM. You can be sure Iggy and Boob Rae will not be so obstructionist and will give free rein to the bureaucracy which wants complete control over the lives of everyday Canadians.

Harper doesn't get off that easy. There is no way that, with a Conservative government in power, we should have to sit here and bite our nails and HOPE that the opposition brings it down before government bills get passed that will crush our internet privacy and freedom of speech.

Anyone who votes for a CPC candidate this election who is obviously not conservative is a traitor to the conservative movement. Filling our parliamentary seats with scumbags like Rob Nicholson and Julian Fantino, then giving them the power of a majority government is no different than handing the country over to Iggy and the boys. (It is actually worse because there will be no opposition to their leftward slide.)

There is a much larger picture here. If Harper is rewarded with a majority for acting like a Liberal, he will CONTINUE to act like a Liberal, and he will do it with impunity. Anyone who thinks that he will suddenly change course if he has a majority is hopelessly naive.

The only think that can save the conservative movement in this country right now is for Harper to, once again, fail to get his majority so that we can replace him with someone who has a clue.

[Marshall]

Connie, I do agree with you that both Rob Nicholson and Junian Fantino are weak self serving scumbags. However even a strong principaled individual with true conservative blood coursing through his/her veins would have an uphill battle trying to control a ministry staffed with thousands of leftist lawyers whose goal is to curtail and control individual Canadians rights and freedoms.

So, we give up? Or, do we demand better?
