Useful additions to Vic Toews’ list
From reader AP:
- Atheist
- God Hater
- Child Hater (remember it is always about the children)
- Rural Canada Hater
- Outdoor Sportsman Hater
- Tim Hortons Hater
- Oil Sands Hater
- Witch Lover
- CBC Lover
- Lover of the Arts
- Book Lover
- Statistics Canada apologist
- Baby Seal Lover
- United Nations Lover
Let me see if I follow Toews’ logical train of thought here: I don’t support his government’s need to further spy on my internet usage, so as a result, I support the production of child porn? That’s all kinds of messed up.

Hey everybody! Check out the comments on the National Post boards. The cons over there are having a major melt down!! The best example of shadenfroide in ten years since these hillbillies took office!
to imagine a thing is to do a thing… ‘imagining the King’s death’ was the crime of high treason. While there may be real threats to the state, its nearly impossible to assess these since those threats are considered in secret. What is evident is that governments typically exaggerates them in order to increase their powers. For a view of how history is repeating here, see “Imagining the King’s Death: Figurative Treason, Fantasies of Regicide, 1793-1796” http://www.history.ac.uk/reviews/review/145
Thank you for the great link – will ask my brother to send the book 🙂
So, if long form census and the Long Gun Registry were too intrusive, why is it OK for police to compell ISPs and phone companies to turn over all that information without a warrant? In what universe is that even rational?
See, there’s your problem, Philip….looking to the Harpercons for logic. They seem to thrive on cognitive dissonance.
Why are you siding with child molesters?
(Man this is easy)
LOL!
If not wanting to be spied upon is the disease, I don’t want the cure.
Perhaps if the long form cenus had had a question about child porn usage it would still be around.
I wonder if Anonymous is on the case.
There’s a great comment on this over @ BCL’s blog from Chapel http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=23292180&postID=4327879020962775880

And perhaps most importantly…
Those of us who refuse to allow Canadian society going back to being
run largely by and for the exclusive benefit of White Christian Males
in general and highly assimilated, unilingual, unhyphenated, White Anglo
Saxon Protestant Males who have such WASP-bred surnames as Harper,
Manning and Day in particular!
Trevor,
You are definitely wrong about Harper’s Conservatives considering nudists “enemies of Canada.” Here’s the proof (Rated G): http://skinnydips.blogspot.com/2010/08/stephen-harper-and-his-conservatives.html
Druids… LOL
Canadians are screwed if one is either a child hater or a child lover.
Let us not forget WaKi lovers.
I can’t believe Toews is spitting out such stupid crap. Seems to me he is also going to alienate many Conservatives as well — most Conservatives I know don’t like the idea of the state using its powers to spy on people. But hey, I’m in Quebec.
Marc, I withdrew my earlier comments about your partisanship!
Hey thanks. Hopefully, there will be enough opposition to this to cause them to drop it.
Where is fearless leader on this (I mean Rae)?
With these powers, the government will be able to know everything about all Canadians, no longer just those veterans whom they wish to humiliate , except for whether or not they have guns.
Who benefits from this? What is so wrong with getting a warrant anyway? There are not many explanations other than the government wanting to track and blackmail its opponents, as it has done on many occasions to injured veterans, or the government wanting to conform to US standards, just like with the F35s, for some bizarre “war on terror” reasons.
Or it could be another smokescreen, since the omnibus crime bill is soft on child abusers (softer than it is on marijuana growers, at least).

I’m sure he’ll be down on Leprechauns next; I mean aren’t they always after his, what have yous?
When Drudge, and Brietbart takes notice, you know our civil liberties are under threat.
I wasn’t aware that child pornographers were such a lobbying force, Vic must know some of them himself.
Click clique.
The Harper government really personifies twisted libertarianism, this is a government suspicious of its citizens.
From now on, every bill they bring forward should just be called the ‘If you oppose us you’re a Nazi pedophile’ bill.
Vic Toews’ admonition that anyone who opposes the encroaching police state on the internet is “on the side with the pornographers”.
This has pissed off even the online conservatives because they are also against the bill.
Using Vic Toews’ own logic, voting to scrap the gun registry means you stand with Marc Lepine.
Highly, highly insulting to law abiding Canadians. What ‘s with the regurgitating of George W. Bush. Doesn’t this man have thoughts of his own he can express. However, I won’t be forgetting that comment any time soon and will remember it in the next election.
Vote with your feet, your dollars and your organizational abilities.
