I would love proof on this. As would the Liberals and the NDP, since they could hammer the Conservatives right into the ground with that point. So me thinks you're fear-mongering again.

Homeland Security
is law enforcement.
We are already sharing our private information with Homeland Security under the Secure Flight Program.

"In November of 2007, the Conservative government
expressed concerns over privacy implications associated with the U.S.
Secure Flight Program and filed objections with the Department of Homeland Security. They were urging an exemption on a measure that would require Canadian airlines to turn over information on passengers flying over the U.S. en route to other destinations. Despite their grievances being dismissed, they eventually caved in to U.S. demands. In a move to further bring Canada in line with American air travel security rules,
Bill C-42, An Act to amend the Aeronautics Act was introduced in Parliament on June 17 of last year. With little media attention, it passed through the House of Commons on March 2, 2011, by a vote of 246 to 34. On March 23, it received royal assent and became law. Under Bill C-42, Canadian airlines are required to send traveler information through the Secure Flight Program 72 hours before departure. The Transportation Security Administration checks the data against security watch lists which could result in passengers receiving extra screening or even being barred from boarding their flight."
Haha ...you think the Liberals/NDP wouldn't go along with it??
