Canada is rapidly changing under Harper (Canadian Bush). I wouldn't trust anything in Canada either. I wish someone woukd start looking at places in Europe with stronger privacy laws like Germany. Or if Iceland had better connections to place it in Iceland.

So you're with the pedophiles then!

An explanation for non-Canadians: In response to criticism to the Conservatives' "lawful access" legislation, which would require Canadian ISPs to install monitoring equipment on their networks and allow government warrant-less access to user data, our Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews, famously said: "You're either with the government, or with the child molesters"

Plus U.S law enforcement having the ability (under Canadian officers guidance) to arrest Canadian citizens on Canadian soil.

I also remember the Harper government opening up sharing Canadian citizen's personal information with the U.S border.

Canada's government right now is all about bowing down to the U.S.
