Wow, that's a really interesting write up. It's long,
though...
<slight troll; don't read further>
It looks like a "Great Firewall of Canada" is going up.
They should look at the dismal record of how Australia
implemented theirs (all the while knowing how easy it
is for the "criminals and terrorists" to bypass their
blocks).

But,it really isn't about the "criminals and terrorists"
is it?
The people in positions of power worldwide are feverishly
drooling over the ability to control what others can know,
while not blocking the information from themselves. What
a sad, sad life those people live! Sounds like the Dark
Ages.
