Proud to be a Canadian

Proud to be a Canadian

Nearly everyday I hear something about the U.S. that makes me happy Iโ€™m a Canadian. No, Iโ€™m not just talking about everytime Bush opens his mouth or sets foreign policyโ€ฆ This โš ๏ธ (link now 404 ๐Ÿ˜• - Jan/24) was interesting. It is very creepy to think (and Iโ€™m sure it is happening) that there are datafiles on all of us in some government database somewhere. With a few keystrokes someone can totally fubar your life. Iโ€™m hoping any type of project even resembling the Matrix is shot down. Since when did democratic governments feel they have the right to peer that deeply into private citizenโ€™s lives? Iโ€™m surprised more Americans are outraged. Do you really think a system like this would be beneficial?
