Well, yes. But I think the piece is too low-key. Americans, or Canadians, or any damned country for that matter, have NO RIGHT WHATSOEVER to cast a dragnet far and wide without some solid measure of  assurance that the people being targeted for this kind of breach of privacy and human rights, actually have something to hide.

Americans have always been paranoid, and not just mildly so, but to the extreme. One of the great benefits of living in Canada has always been that the line separating acceptable government intrusion and privacy has always been clear and understood by all government employees. If CSIS or any other government agency is going to try to mimic the Americans, then we have a problem, a big problem, and the government, be it Trudeau or any other political party, is going to find out just how big very shortly.

Take note Goodale. And tell Trudeau too. Canadians WILL NOT TOLERATE THIS KIND OF SH*T.
