We have soldiers dying overseas, we can certainly sacrifice a little at home to keep everyone safe.
You want to be appalled? Go to the rest of the world and see what it is like to be arrested.

Your logic is pretty weird. "The rest of the world" has poor legal protections for those arrested, which is the same place we're sending our soldiers to die, so we should have fewer legal protections here when we get arrested. ... Because our soldiers should be dying here? Because legal protections are overrated? Because the playing field of legal rights should be level for everyone?
I think you're just taking a dramatic stance without thinking through your own opinion because you like to think of yourself as "hardcore".
Oh, and people who have been arrested still have the right to legal counsel, Canadians just don't have the right to have a lawyer present during police interrogations. We can refuse to speak until we've spoken to a lawyer, but the police don't have to let the lawyer in the room while they're questioning us.
