Just a little reminiscent of the US?

Police want new powers to deal with aftermath of terror attack

It's the "banning demonstrations and travel" that's more than just a bit worrying.

Canadians - is any of this happening in Canada? I can't see any evidence in the Globe & Mail. Is Canada on high terrorist alert? I'm still kinda unclear whether it's the whole Western world or just Britain & the US.

Threaten to fine an activist and they'll laugh in your face. Threaten to confiscate their dog on a piece of string and that will get their attention ;) You need to think more along the lines of what these new powers will actually be used for, not what they're intended for.

Then again, perhaps I'm just getting more and more cynical in my old age =)
