Alberta has recorded its first deficit budget in 15 years. The government says the fiscal year that ended in March had a shortfall of $852 million.
The Heritage Savings Trust Fund also took a hit, leaving its value at $14 billion.
Legislation that will allow law enforcement agencies access to email and cell phone accounts without needing a warrant is being considered by our current federal government. Of course there excuse for this incredible invasion of peoples privacy is the usual to catch terrorists, or other criminals, If your not a criminal you have nothing to worry about.
I am sure many people think that is all well in good I guess if you are not a terrorist or currently a criminal, however governments programs always grow and expand. This is a gate way into peoples private lives you could quickly find yourself a criminal simply because we have outlawed some thing you might believe in or currently participate in legally(Things that come to mind, are pornography , online gambling, purchasing online goods outside of the country. All things that are legal but could very well be illegal tomorrow, or even more extreme , freedom of speech for all you bloggers out there. ), The program could expand to even more applications of spying we couldn’t even think of today.
If the law enforcement believe some one might be a criminal and they want a copy of there records to build a case against this criminal they can present what they currently have and justify this invasion of privacy to a judge who can then permit them to act.
Lets not let this one go un-noticed. Call your MP’s and tell them to stop investigating or even considering laws like this.
