Bill C-32 It's like being in a 1950's Gangster Movie

The recent comments by our wonderful heritage Minister is nothing short but disturbing. Calling then not exactly retracting but denying that he was calling opponents of the Digital Locks prevision "Radical Extremists" not something one would expect from one's own government. I guess that since I am against the digital locks prevision and offered a solution to the Heritage Minister several times via Twitter and Email, to change the wording of the by pass of the digital locks so by passing it is not illegal. (Read How To Fix The Digital Lock Issue in C-32)  Non the less if the Minister thinks he can get away with calling us the citizens of Canada "Radical Extremists" then he has another thing coming. This is not Question Period and we are not the Opposition. We are the people that elected them in and we can boot them out. This "With Us or Against Us" ideology is very tiresome and I for one think the Minister should be looking at the constructive feedback that has already been provided by people like Professor Michael Geist and others who have given many good suggestions for changes to the bill.  We have said before there are a lot of things we like about C-32, it is a huge improvement over what C-61 would have been. If you put in a trump card that eliminates everything good you put into the law then it is as bad as the old one was if not worse.  I urge the Minister to be less adversarial and much more constructive with us the Citizens of Canada. He might find he gets a much better response and he should also listen to the changes we want to make.  They make a lot of sense.
