Bill S-7 And The Root Causes Of Terrorism
The Anti-terrorism Act passed just after the Sept. 11th attacks has been revived under Bill S-7 with some extremely troubling provisions which threaten the basic fundamental civil liberties of every Canadian citizen. The conservatives have used the recent "foiled terror plot" as an excuse to pass this draconian bill. In what is eerily similar to the National Defense Authorization Act in the United States bill S-7 now gives the Canadian authorities the ability to have investigative hearings and preventive detentions. Under this bill anyone and everyone can now be a suspect and detained without charges or due process.
