Keep in mind that countries do not lose they're freedoms overnight. It is usually a slow process where people gradually accept losing freedom in exchange for security. I am not going to get into conspiracy stuff, but there is a slippery slop, in my opinion, with some of this stuff. |
Kind of a poor example. It's an old law, that was "revamped" for the G20 and ends when the G20 ends. It's basically a watered down riot act and given the stuff that's been going on, I'd say it's warranted. Keep in mind there have been 150 arrests, not 15,000. They aren't going around house to house rounding up NDPers or Liberals and throwing them in the gulags of Nunavut. They are using it to arrest people who have no business coming close to the fence or being near sensitive areas.
Again, police are damned if they do, damned if they don't. I don't envy the officers there right now.
