Quotation of the Day for March 19, 2015"The purpose of the act is sharing for national security threats, so it makes me wonder if your organization is a national security threat? "I see your organization is protesting pipelines, forestry projects, but I didn't hear anything to indicate to me that you were planning to bomb any of Canadian infrastructure or sabotage electrical grids, so I wonder if you consider yourself to be a national security threat and if you understand the definition, that it won't apply to you as long as you don't commit any of these terrorist activities?" - LaVar Payne, Conservative MP, addressing Joanne Kerr, executive-director of Greenpeace Canada, during committee hearings on Bill C-51. The controversial bill would allow Canadian government agencies more latitude in gathering and sharing information on citizens.
