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."

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.
