Do you think the Internet is a powerful tool for change?

The Conservative government is trying to push through a set of electronic surveillance laws that will invade your privacy and cost you money. The plan is to force every phone and Internet provider to allow "author...ities" to collect the private information of any Canadian, at any time, without a warrant.
