Montreal Simon: Vic Toews and the Day of Judgement
Lordy. I wasn’t going to write anything about the latest episode of the B-movie, Vic Toews and the Con Zombie Internet Eaters. Because it’s sooooooo sordid. And we don’t peddle Con smut on this blog eh? But in the end I couldn’t resist. An anonymous privacy advocate rose up against

The Tories’ “Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act” has more to do with suppressing dissent than with stopping child pornographers. I mean, where is the evidence that child pornography is such a major problem that it requires the introduction of a piece of legislation that is a serious intrusion into

MONTREAL – After watching a televised interview with Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, a Montréal area millwright called the MP a “lying sack of shit”. In a response from the government, it was revealed that the man’s name is Michel Boudreau of 1182 Crescent Street Montréal and his phone number

As the Conservative caucus wanders off tonight to celebrate their modest victory against the continuation of the life saving long gun registry by drinking the blood of gun violence victims with the gun lobby, we would be remiss if we did not point out how little Public Safety Minister Vic

Uh oh. Call the Ministry of Truth. It seems that the Con Zombie Vic Toews is trying to rewrite history. After failing to parse himself properly… My diagnosis? If he’s forgetting himself it’s senile dementia. If he’s lying it’s Big Brother syndrome: “If the Party could thrust its hand into

You should have seen him during Question Period today, staring down the helpless opposition with his cold dead eyes, like a hawk staring at a mouse, before it rips it apart. After tabling his montrous internet snooping bill that would turn Canada into a police state. The so-called “lawful access” legislation,

Gawd. Trust the old Con zombie Vic Toews to come stumbling out of his crypt, and make a complete fascist fool out of himself. Again. Critics of a bill that would give law enforcement new powers to access Canadians’ electronic communications are aligning themselves with child pornographers, Canada’s public safety

A Conservative minister stated this in the House of Commons: But when Liberal MP Francis Scarpaleggia attacked the Conservatives for “preparing to read Canadians’ emails and track their movements through cellphone signals” – which does appear to be a severe distortion of the bill’s powers – Mr. Toews’s counterattack was
