Basic gist:
Using internet 'aliases' instead of our real names is now illegal. No court order, or anything at all for that matter, is needed to monitor people and intercept their internet traffic. There are forced changes to ISPs which will allow people to be monitored in real time and more efficiently.
I didn't think it was possible to devise internet regulation even more totalitarian than China, but here we have it. Think twice next time you start trashing der furher Stephen Harper online. That's also now illegal. Even more so if done under an alias.
Whole thing is just terrifying on so many levels.

I'm thinking with how docile and passive most Canadians are it probably will go through. One good thing about Americans is they're quick to protest things like this.

that will never pass.
And if everyone thinks that, it will.

It is a fact of life that there are no inherent rights.
Governments are the ones who grant you those temporary privileges and they have proven often enough that they will deny them if they feel the need.
Actually, the public hires their government to work for them, and the government cannot take any rights away from their employers. The public are the ones in power, or at least that's how the system was intended to work in democratic countries.
The way you're talking would apply to a monarchy or dictatorship. I will admit democratic governments are becoming more like them as time goes on, but it's not justified.

Aren't you glad Anonymous has Uber Lobbyists in Canada? This will never become a law. Anon will not allow it.
I was not aware of any of that. Maybe they can help after they're done hacking Bioware for no clear reason.
