The actual quote is "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety".

Giving up human rights is scarier to me than terror attacks. In fact taking human rights away is a terror attack perpetrated by government.
-
Absolutely Yes it's time to get worried. Wondered how she would disguise it.This is a perfect solution fo Tories to take away all our rights
-
Anything that makes us turn to the central government for protection gives up just a little more free will.

What's the problem? Removing the rites of a terrorist is better than a terrorist removing a life from our shores

I hate to say it but some freedoms are worth dying for. Millions died fighting for freedom, we should not give it away so easily.

I like her. Canada just paid 10.5 mil to Khadr because 'he was 16' when he killed American medic soldier. Charter of Rights failed us.
-
1) No, in 2010 the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Cdn intelligence officials obtained evidence from Khadr under oppressive circumstances
-
2) Therefore Khadr was suing the Cdn government. The settlement was far less than what the government would have spent losing the lawsuit.
-
It's a matter of principle. He was a POW
-
"Don't mistreat POWs, no matter how much you hate what they fought for" is indeed a principle worth upholding.
-
Those laws and others like it are not about what *they* might or might not have done. It's what *you* do, and who *you* are.
-
Agreed. Chrétien and Trudeau blew it. Canadians paid for it. ...but I'd fight it because it wouldn't have changed the fact Khadr was guilty
-
He may well be guilty. Unfortunately there isn't enough evidence to say so with any degree of certainty.
