From Canada.com:
OTTAWA – The federal cabinet will review new legislation this fall that would give police and security agencies vast powers to begin surveillance of the Internet without court authority.
The new measures would allow law-enforcement agents to intercept personal e-mails, text messages and possibly even password-secure websites used for purchasing and financial transactions.
I’m not Canadian, but you can rest assured that I won’t be sending many emails to Canada if this became law. More importantly, though, I can just see Alberto Gonzalez and the rest of the DOJ saying to themselves `Hey, this sounds like a really good idea.’
