Like Scrooges living in fear of terrorism they have repossessed our civil liberties through a number of anti terrorist bills. Today the Bloor West for Peace group kicked off protest opposition to Bill C36 with a picket at liberal MP Tony Ianno's office in the Italian neighbourhood of Toronto. Not so many years ago Toronto police broke up all street gatherings of Italian men in that area of Toronto. Nearly every ethnic community and group has experienced harassment from police, using the powers they already have. Now anti terrorist bills like C36 give police incredible new powers to spy on and jail us all … and though the government says this is for security many people feel that the security of Big Brother is another form of terror. People suddenly jailed under anti-terrorist legislation will be as hard to find as Osama bin Laden, and the record of arrests under current law has been terrible. Nearly all of the hundreds arrested across North America are completely innocent. Opposition continues tomorrow with a Science for Peace forum and teach-in at the Medical Sciences Building of the University of Toronto from 1:00 to 4:30 p.m. Rocco Galati will address civil liberties and the anti-terrorism Bill C36. On Thursday December 13, 7pm an evening of speakers, song & solidarity on the erosion of Human Rights in the name of Anti-Terrorism takes place at OISE, 252 Bloor West. A rally and march addressing the Attack on Civil Liberties happens next Saturday Dec 15, noon in Toronto's Nathan Phillips Square. Activists have also occupied Justice Minister Anne Mclellan's office in Edmonton beginning at 8pm on Friday, December 7 and will be there throughout the weekend or longer. They have a list of demands regarding "anti-terrorist" legislation (bills c-36, c-35, c-42). 1) nation-wide public education campaigns. 2) a binding national referendum. 3) dissolving CSIS in favour of a kick-ass Mariachi band.
