So where do you sit on the fence?
Should the government be allowed to detain non-Canadians indefinitely, without charges, if they are deemed to be a threat to national security?

As much as I am for maintaining Canadian security and removing anyone who wants to plot against Canada, I have a problem with detaining someone indefinitely. They need to take them to trial or remove them from Canada. Its not right to hold someone without their day in court. I also believe that if they are not Canadian, officials should have the power to remove them from Canada if they are not wanted here.
