I find the most offensive part the extensive logging of sites visited. Why should my upstream provider be keeping track of which websites I've visited for the past 6 months? To combat terrorism? that's just the excuse we've now become accustomed to. I feel invaded just thinking about it.
Now I do agree with Cameron.... I imagine the government has a way to peek inside the networks right now if they feel it's necessary.... but this would probably give them a little more leeway, and legitimize the demise of online privacy in Canada.

That is disturbing in so many ways...but I have often thought that these things are annouced as being a possibility after they have already been implemented. Case in point: A few years ago there was a big annoucement tht the Hells Angels would be locating in Calgary. If people only knew that they were in Calgary at least five years before hand. I of course have no concrete proof, but I have the information on good authority and would believe it to be true. The same goes for the article here and that it islikely in action already. Anyone rememeber that "Big Brother" government databse that was in the news a year or so ago? -----Original Message----- From: Ian Bruseker [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: August 28, 2002 12:10 AM To: CLUG talk Subject: (clug-talk) Will Canada's ISPs become spies?
