An explanation for non-Canadians: In response to criticism to the Conservatives' "lawful access" legislation, which would require Canadian ISPs to install monitoring equipment on their networks and allow government warrant-less access to user data, our Public Safety Minister, Vic Toews, famously said: "You're either with the government, or with the child molesters"
I also remember the Harper government opening up sharing Canadian citizen's personal information with the U.S border.
Canada's government right now is all about bowing down to the U.S.
