RE: Bill C 36

Canada's proposed antiterrorism law, Bill C 36, is an exploitive disguise
to deliver us over to undemocratic globalization. It is a sword joining the
USA, Australia and England slashing freedom of speech, freedom of assembly,
freedom of association, and the right to protest in order to eliminate the
increasingly effective international democratic opposition to global
corporatization.  Once enacted, it will be unlikely that any
Charter of Rights Challenges will succeed because the Anti-Terrorism Act
gives a discretion to the Court to make decisions based on national
security. The Courts will not likely wish to step outside this escape
mechanism.

Bill C 36, the Anti-Terrorism Act, is an act which amends many other acts
and incorporates into it one new act as well, (Bill C16). The new one,
(Bill C16), is the Registration of Charities (Security Information) Act.
Bill C 36 amends  the Criminal Code of Canada, the Official Secrets Act,
The Canada Evidence Act, the Canadian Human Rights Act, the Immigration
Act, the proceeds of Crime Act, Access to Information Act, Canada Post
Corporation Act, Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents
Act, Access to Information Act, Privacy Act, Seized Property Management
Act, Canadian Security Intelligence Act, United Nations Act, Identification
of Criminals Act and others.

The amendments remove the civil liberties previously guaranteed in those
acts. Ethical, religious, and environmental arguments are not available as
defences to any alleged breach of this new law. Prior to Bill C 36, these
acts being amended provided sufficient mechanism for citizen and state
protections.

Rocco Galati, lawyer for the Canadian Islamic Congress, says, "19
terrorists in 6 weeks have been able to command 300 million North
Americans to do away with the entirety of their civil liberties that took
700 years to advance from the Magna Carta onward. The terrorists have
already won the political and ideological war with one terrorist act. It is
mindboggling that we are that weak as a society."

In October, 2001 only 8 Canadian Members of Parliament voted against Bill
C36 at Second Reading. The Bill has been before the Senate and is now in
the study stage by Parliamentary committee. Our Prime Minister, Jean
Chr=E9tien, says he wants it passed into final law by Christmas 2001.

The 8 MPs who voted for civil liberties were from the NDP.  I am told the
other 7 NDP members were not present. I am told the NDP caucus agreed they
would all oppose the second reading of the anti terrorist bill. No
constituency work elsewhere could be more important than to be present to
be seen voting to preserve the liberty of Canadians. By the end of October,
three Liberal Members of Parliament from the governing party of Liberals,
and one Liberal Senator spoke out publicly against Bill C36. Interestingly
they are all from the ethnic community: Herb Dhaliwal, Indo-Canadian,
Vancouver South; Heidi Fry, Caribbean community, Vancouver Center; Sophie
Leung, Chinese, Vancouver Kingsway; and Senator Mobina Jaffer, Indo
Canadian. It is obvious the Canadian ethnic community understands the
attack
in process. Many of them have experienced and escaped this law in other
countries.  The ethnic communities know this law is aimed first at them to
reach  the rest of Canadians. They know classic racism and religious
discrimination when they see it.

These three MPs are responding to the pressure coming from their own
ethnic communities. They did not have the courage, or understanding, or
will on their own in Parliament to vote for liberty. Now they have no
choice because their own community is taking them to task. They risk being
struck from Cabinet and special committees in punishment by the Prime
Minister for disobeying his order for no public dissent from Caucus.

Obviously their constituency pressure is high. As it should be.

Stand and defend your liberty while you still can. Bill C 36, the
anti-terrorism bill , and others in the works are not what the government
say they are. They destroy your freedom which we Canadians have taken too
much for granted. Write your MP and the Senators
