God, 2015 can't come fast enough. Reactionary governments are the worst. The good news is that I highly doubt this survives a charter challenge. The bad news is, that still means a number of people are still going to spend some unecessary time in jail.

I love how the Anti-Harper at all costs crew have come up with two awesome reasons to hate Harper over this:

1) This is the horrible Harper government cracking down so they can arrest and imprison whoever they want
2) This it the horrible Harper government not doing a darn thing, and just duplicating existing laws so they can seem tough on crime and ignore other issues
