A bunch of virgins.

anything that raises awareness and hopefully, uproar against Harper's dangerously biaised policies is good to me. the usual cyber-attacks (DDoS) from the Anonymous group aren't rocket science compared to the really dangerous cyber-terrorists. i don't think that people should stop standing against this governement's agenda only because they fear a bigger backlash. we're not in North Korea yet.

sounded like 7 minutes of weak bullshit. if this and DoS attacks are all they can do, they dont seem like much of a threat to anyone.

the threat level would depend on how high up the intended targets are in the government and how many skeletons they have in their closet now wouldn't it?

Ironically, cyber-attacks for differing political opinion is exactly what North Korea does.

Is anyone else scared to say anything negative in this thread for fear of them reading it and ruining my life?

Harper's governement is lumping environnemental activists with terrorists or every internet using citizen with paedophiles with its new policies projets. at the exact same time they scrap the national gun register claiming that it's violating gun-owners privacy and treating them as criminals. i don't recognize the country i grew up in anymore.
Harper also censors scientists, another big WTF (making perfect sense in the conservative's hidden agenda though). speaking of which, on one part, Harper claims he won't re-open the women's right to choose and at the same time, they hire some "experts" in order to define "what is a human being". you know, i don't endorse invasion of privacy at all but it's just fair that this guy (Toews) gets a taste of his own medicine.
the list goes on - the Robocall story might be another great example of what Harper's governement thinks of democracy.
and please, i'd appreciate if you wouldn't reply by making fun of semantics - english isn't my first language.

Is scrapping the gun registry itself a problem, or just the juxtaposition of that versus the lack of privacy for everyone else?

While I think the government was out of line and wrong on C-30, they did do what a good government should do. They listened to the public, had sober second thought and have gone backk to the drawing board.

I will say that there is a large cultural divide between what Canadians see as the role of government and who has the responsibility for paying for it between Quebec and western Canada. I and most of western Canbnada don't have an issue with equipping our military adequately. We saw the gun registry as a billion $ plus waste of money, that criminalized responsible gun owners and did nothing to address gun violence.

WHile I think the current government starts out acting too rash with too little consultation, they do respond to negative feedback.

Sounds like a lot of the South American Anonymous folks were busted. So these days it makes sense that they're North American centric. I can't imagine the state of US politics inspiring anything other than apathy, so Canada is a perfectly logical focal point for this sort of business.

This whole anti-Harper business smacks a lot of team red vs. team blue. It doesn't seem like he's really that extreme. He's no Bush for instance.
