Get A Warrant, Lorne Gunter, Feb. 17. Lorne Gunter misses the likely targets of the Tory bill to provide police with warrantless access to our email; dissenters, civil libertarians, critics of the police and government, journalists, whistle-blowers and opposition parties. The RCMP have a history of extensive spying and surveillance of trade unionists, Quebec nationalists, opposition party leaders (like Tommy Douglas), dissenters, journalists, protest organizers, environmentalists, abortion rights activists, and cannabis legalization advocates. There is already adequate law to find child pornographers. These new unprecedented police state powers will be not so much abused, but in the spirit they are intended, to be used against legitimate research, criticism and organizing by Canadians. This proposal is extremely dangerous to the individual liberty and rule of law a free people are entitled to in a democracy.
