Just one day after a huge outcry against the draconian measures proposed in this bill, Public Safety Minister Vic Toews is already backpedaling: yesterday he told parliamentarians that the government would "entertain amendments" to the bill.<br />"We will send this legislation directly to committee for a full and wide-ranging examination of the best way to do what is right for our children."<br />What amendments the Conservatives will entertain remain to be seen. It is interesting that when the bill was introduced, the targets were child pornographers and organized crime, but the back-pedaling made no mention of the latter. Perhaps even Mr. Toews sensed that "to do what is right for our organized criminals" wouldn't have played well in the press.ArtfulOnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00147604026683473242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607244853294131438.post-7986705056620456692012-02-15T19:53:16.548-08:002012-02-15T19:53:16.548-08:00I see Toews is using the powerful and precise argu...I see Toews is using the powerful and precise argument promoted by Bush almost a decade ago: You are either with the Americans, or with the Terrorists!Dyami Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10870083033404046530noreply@blogger.com
