Security Certificates
The Supreme Court of Canada has struck down the security certificate system used by the federal government to detain and deport foreign-born terrorist suspects.
It's nice to see that every now and again, we get something right in this country. Personally, I'm not in favour of living in a country where the government can grab people off the street, imprison them for years without charges and/or exile them to countries where torture and the above practice of snatching people off the street and holding them without charges is commonplace.
Of course, if you want to see why democratic countries cam slip into becoming police states, you don't have to look farther than the on-line poll at CNEWS, where currently two-thirds of the respondents think the Supreme Court made the wrong decision in upholding our Constitution.
Update: That was, I believe the shortest on-line poll in Canoe history. It didn't last a day before being taken down. They must not have liked the answer.
