Don't Go To Canada

Cops can now 'take all your stuff'

"There have been some terrible miscarriages of justice due to proceeds of crime legislation in other countries.
Whether Canada will do better remains to be seen.
To the surprise of at least one legal expert, the Supreme Court of Canada last week unanimously gave the provinces incredible powers to seize assets allegedly connected to crime.
For a country that has gained the reputation, whether deserved or not, of protecting the rights of the accused over the rights of victims, it's quite an about-face.
As one worried reader e-mailed the other day: "This is a terrifying development. If the police even suspect you of a crime, they can take all your stuff. They don't have to prove it."

The US Corporate Imperialists are spreading their disease every where they go, funding their Machiavellian friends in other countries and telling them how easy it is to abuse power if you have it, so long as the common people are dumbed down by the mainstream media and dissident voices are silenced before they can have any widespread effect. It has worked so well in the US, they're selling the idea to politicians in other countries now, and teaching them how it is done. The DEA has already made its mark in Canada, and that was just the beginning.

Yes, Canada has been taken over by Ziobots and Canadians don't even recognize it anymore.

I spoiled my ballot in the last Federal election because there is nobody to vote for anymore...they've ALL been bought and paid for.

Harper has a minority government but acts waaaaaaayyyyy more arrogant than any previous PM...why? Because he doesn't owe his power to the democratic votes of the people,,,he owes it to the 'fixers" in the US and UK.

I would love to travel in Canada again. I'd love to go back to Banff and Jasper, see the sweet rolling hills of northern BC and have some grayling smack my dry flies up in Yukon. Finances allowing, I'd take my wife up and back the Alcan several times and I'd enjoy the hell out of it.
But I can't and won't step a foot across the border because of politics. Won't get into it now but twice in the last few decades I had very nasty border incidents and that's the end of it.
