Connie Fogal, Leader of CAP, says ” ‘NO’ to an impending federal law to give police and national security agencies new powers to eavesdrop on cellphone calls and monitor the Internet activities of Canadians”.
“This law is another destruction of Canadian freedom,”insists Fogal. “It moves Canada even further into the realm of a police state. This is an adjunct to our nefarious anti terrorism laws imposed on an uninformed citizenry by our Parliament and Senate. It is another elimination of some of our sovereign rights that were supposed to be guaranteed to us under our Constitution and our Charter of Rights and Freedoms. It is an act of stealth imposed under the guise of national security.”
Fogal asks? “Why is this being done? Canada is mirroring recent U.S legislation because our government has committed Canada by stealth and backroom deals to a North American Union: US, Canada, and Mexico under US command and control. Information on this year’s meeting by the three national leaders at Bush’s ranch in Texas on North American Union has been revealed even in mainstream media.”
“This latest piece of liberty stripping legislation is but one more incremental step of stealth because Canadians would not tolerate this if we were allowed to have full information of what is going on. This is an incredible situation,” reported Fogal.
She continued, “Many Canadians fought and died in WW2 to stop this very kind of police state activity. What we are witnessing now with these types of laws is an exact pattern of liberty -stripping imposed by Hitler on Germans under the guise of ‘National Security’. Good people there who turned a blind eye or failed to resist later discovered it was too late.Their liberty was completely eliminated . Eventually it reached a stage where even Germany’s highest court judges were committing crimes by convicting innocent people. See the Nuremburg Trials. Even Judges are corruptible in such regimes. As Harry Rankin, Vancouver’s renowned 25 year alderman and criminal lawyer, used to say, ‘If you want justice, go to church,not to the courts. The courts are there to apply the law created by politicians.’ ”
“Fogal, a lawyer, said, “Canada along with many countries has been participating for years in an eavesdropping program called Echelon. That is illegal. What government is trying to do is make it legal. It is illegal because our system as a democracy had built in protections for the good and innocent. Police have to justify any invasion of privacy before a court of law. If the court did not accept the reason for the invasion, it was not allowed. This protection is core to civil liberties. We should not abandon it. We must not abandon it, if we are to be a free and democratic people.”
“It is such hypocrisy for Canada to be supporting the US occupation of Afghanistan and Iraq as deliverers of “freedom” when new local draconian laws at home are stripping Canadians and Americans of our liberty. It is time for a reality check,” insisted Fogal.
“At a crucial point in ‘the tide of the affairs of men’ human beings have to take a stand and be counted. Better sooner than later when to do so means imprisonment or death, as happened in Germany. I, for one, say “NO” to another deceitful and wrongful law. I also speak as the leader of a small federal party voicing the view of thousands of Canadians who feel betrayed by the existing Parliamentarians,”said Fogal.
