What the hell is the Harper government thinking?

There must be a gas leak at the Justice Ministry’s neo-Gothic building on Wellingtons Street.

Because the number of dangerously insane actions taken by this government in recent months is staggering.  They can’t be in their right minds.

The government’s cyberbullying legislation, C-13, was first.  It was shoved into our hands as Peter MacKay strode to a podium — “Protecting our children,” it said.  The bill allows for unprecedented levels of warrantless data sharing with police.

Then came the Digital Privacy Act, S-4, a good bill with a fatal flaw: it allows corporations to pass along our information with no oversight whatsoever.

Next was the C-24, legislation that would banish Canadian citizens, born here, to their home countries on the whim of a minister.

Thrown to the top of the pile was the staggeringly large omnibus budget bill, C-31, inside of which were hidden provisions that allow tax agents to secretly pass on your tax returns to police on idle suspicion alone.

Yesterday, we saw C-36, the jaw-dropping new prostitution law that went far beyond the expectations of anyone in the country.  It not only criminalizes johns, but sex workers, and those who publish advertisements for sexual services.

So I have to ask, in complete sincerity, Mr. MacKay: have you lost your goddam mind?
