Canada Votes Against Renewal of Anti-Terrorism Act

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.

  • RogerStrong, on 10/12/2007, -2/+2Yup, 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.
