thinkmoderate.com — The Canadian Parliament voted against renewing and expanding anti-terror laws that were introduced after 9/11. Think of it as Canada's version of the Patriot Act. The legislation was voted down despite accusations by the conservative Prime Minister that the Liberal Party was "soft on terror," and despite recent terror plots.

Yup, we don't like locking people up indefinately without being charged. These laws were brought in after 9/11 and given a five-year limit. They were never used.Like the American Patriot act, the laws were't needed during the cold war - and Al Qaida ain't no Soviet Union.

Their country, their laws...none of our business so long as it doesn't directly impact us.

Easy for you to say dcmachead, too bad the US doesn't see it the same way.
