An open letter to Minister Vic Toews,
Re: Bill C-30
I'm the president of a licensed private investigative firm that works in the area of cyber-crime primarily in the counter industrial espionage field.
As a law enforcement professional myself (and a veteran) I most assuredly do not support Bill C-30, if for no other reason than that it is un-Canadian.
I was not impressed with your characterization of those of us who oppose this kind of legislation. I have voiced my opposition quite publicly.
Your statements were not the best way to engender support for this or any other kind of legislation, Mr. Toews. As is typical of your government in many areas, you are long on ideology, short on evidentiary decision-making and profoundly disturbing in your penchant for being an ultra controlling secretive government with decidedly un-Canadian neo/theo-conservative values.
Your Canada is not the Canada for which I became a veteran.
