"Bill C-51, the government's proposed anti-terrorism law, has passed second reading in the House of Commons with a vote of 176-87 and will now be sent to committee." CBC News Posted: Feb 23, 2015 7:53 PM ET

Stephen Harper and the Conservative Party of Canada have crossed the final line in re-election politics. The privacy, security and everyday lives of Canadians is NOT a re-election chip to be played haphazardly. Parliament MUST recognize that Bill C-51 is NOT in the best interests of Canada or her citizens.



Strike it down.
