I'm not sure how you make a parallel between a recomendation for a law, that hasn't even been debated in the House of Commons yet, to an announcement about a Biker Gang doing activities in Calgary, but I'm sure if enough people tell the MP what they think of this law, it's chances of being passed will be pretty low.
And that database you were talking about was for known sex offenders (found guilty of the crime), with the possibilty of extending into other criminals found guilty of serious crimes, which police could use when similar crimes had been commited in the area where the criminals now live...which if you ask me only makes sense. This 'law' however seems to be writen by people who don't really understand existing laws and how the Internet works.
