After exhaustive research, it seems that the primary beneficiaries of this dystopian policy are the developers who gain chubby contracts to build and operate the prisons. I have so far heard some argumentation along the lines that Bill C-10 is designed to make life safer for children by more severely punishing pedophiles. Although this in itself seems like a worthy pursuit, one that pulls on the heartstrings of anyone who wants to protect children, the government has downplayed the fact that the targets of Bill C-10 extend far past the scope of monitoring and arresting sexual predators; any citizen deemed as a potential threat by the federal government will be subject to electronic monitoring and physical searches. Jennifer Stoddart, the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has written an open letter expressing concerns over these matters. It is interesting to note that Greenpeace has recently been labelled as an "extremist threat" by the federal government.
In the light of journalistic integrity, I urge anyone with positive, negative, or balanced information regarding Bill C-10 to please post comments in the section below. You can even do so anonymously, as we will all soon be subject to the electronic monitoring and Exceptional power to search proposed under the new legislature.
If you have no knowledge of the laws presented in Bill C-10, and the consequences they will inevitably cause, I urge you to watch this short video:
Inform yourself as soon as you can.
The future of our county's social justice is at stake.
More to come.
