Drama drama drama! Yes
Canada should be vigilant and should strengthen it's intelligence agencies. But if one surrenders civil liberties, well, you might as well not be "free". That is one of the prices of "freedom". 51? Give us detail about each one. Do not just spit out numbers, substantiate with FACTS!
"The only thing we have to fear is fear itself—nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance." - Franklin D. Roosevelt
"Freedom is not worth having if it does not connote freedom to err." - Mohandas K. Gandhi
"They who would give up an essential liberty for temporary security, deserve neither liberty or security" - Benjamin Franklin
"Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me,
give me liberty, or give me death!" - Patrick Henry
"When liberty is taken away by force it can be restored by force.
When it is relinquished voluntarily by default it can never be recovered." - Dorothy Thompson
"Freedom is not something that anybody can be given. Freedom is something people take, and
people are as free as they want to be." - James Baldwin
"There is danger from all men. The only maxim of a free government ought to be to
trust no man living with power
to endanger the public liberty." - John Adams
"For those who stubbornly
seek freedom, there can be no more
urgent task than to come to
understand the mechanisms and practices of
indoctrination. These are easy to perceive in the totalitarian societies,
much less so in the system of 'brainwashing under freedom' to which we are subjected and which all too often we sere as willing or unwitting instruments." - Noam Chomsky
"If a nation
values anything more than freedom, it will lose its freedom; and the irony of it is that if it is
comfort or money that it values more, it will lose that too." - Somerset Maugham
"None are so hopelessly enslaved as those who
falsely believe they are free." - Goethe
