Canadian Minister Lies On Net Surveillance Claims 155
An anonymous reader writes "As we discussed last month, the Canadian government has introduced Internet surveillance legislation that requires ISPs to disclose customer information without a warrant. Peter Van Loan, the Minister in charge, claims that a Vancouver kidnapping earlier this year shows the need for these powers. Michael Geist did some digging and revealed this as a lie — the Vancouver police acknowledge that the case did not involve an ISP request and the suspect is now in custody."

Or perhaps he was simply misinformed or mistaken.

It must, because no liberal has ever told a lie in the entire history of the world (and, of course, everyone everywhere is either a liberal or a (spit) conservative. There are no other possibilities).

Stalin and Hitler planned that all along. (Score:1, Funny)
Hitler, a jew just like Stalin, feigned his death and went with several prominent national socialists (aka "nazi") to live out their lives around Brazil, Venezuela, and a number of other countries neighboring those. Meanwhile, the less-prominent nazi scientists were imported through Department of Agriculture if not U.S. Army and NASA through Project Paperclip to CONTINUE research if only to disclose the atrocities committed upon non-Germanic prisoners of war and civilians.
You'll find out that every 2-party system is a joke, because mere idealogical opponents and best-friends when behind the curtain. In the case of World War 2, the alleged defamations against jews was done by a jew known as Alois Michelgruber who renamed to Adolph Hitler to confuse the press. Even Joseph Stalin is a made-up name chosen by a jew to conceal his identity.
A fellow over on Pennsylvania soil, Eric-John, wrote a book and sells only 200 of them every 4 years, titled "Vatican Assassins" and he's done all the research to show where all the jewry comes from. Hardcover version costs too much (US 300) so I pirated the digital version.
