In January 2015, the Canadian government introduced Bill C-51 which would give police and spy agencies more power to detain terror suspects. Provisions to the bill include expanding police powers that would allow them to preventively detain or restrict terror suspects, ban the “promotion of terrorism”, allow the public safety minister to add people to Canada’s “no-fly list”, and enhance the powers of Canada’s spy agency CSIS.

No unless sufficient evidence is presented to say otherwise (actual proof of them being a terrorist) spying on someone you think might be a terrorist is not ever OK
@9ZFC3N55mos5MO

i need more info before i can say anything about this topic
@8Z6P9KQ3yrs3Y
Yes, if local police and intelligence agencies are fully committed to protecting the Canadian populace over the Crown/privatized factions. If police can be strong armed by higher-ups or sponsors, or if they can be bought out, then they can become a liability to the people they were previously sworn to protect.

@98CRZ9T2yrs2Y

depends on the sitchewation
@8VRQPRZ4yrs4Y
Question is too vague, I didn't even read the bill, so I am not adding an opinion to this
@8VQWZZ74yrs4Y
i don’t think it is our first priority
@8VMPLDC4yrs4Y
Good idea on paper but in practice it treads on individual Canadian freedoms.
@8VMP2C84yrs4Y
if it workers properly then sure.
@8TZ3WR84yrs4Y
Yeah sure, but you better relax gun laws also. It is a slippery slope so as long as our citizens have right to bears arms and we know government can’t “police state” us then yeah. Law and order is important and absolutely has a place in Canada.
@2D8K4754yrs4Y
No. I do not support Bill C51, as it will do little to prevent terrorist acts done to Canadians. It causes all sorts of problems for liberty and freedom of people to legally speak out against their government.
