Yes!!!! You and anyone, PLEASE plagiarize freely!!!

The article — brilliant — especially the last line. I can’t help but agree — a paid shill like this guy likely has no clue how easy it is for criminals to bypass this order of stupid and how destructive it will be to everyone else.

But hey, all it take is a few bucks. Our medical privacy in Canada was sold for considerably less then 1/2 a million…

Might I have your permission to use some of your letter to write to our own MP etc.?

Definitely — the underbelly of this is that there is pretty well nothing that doesn’t go through some sort of server system today.

I work with so many people over the web — this means that the records of that communication will now be archived and police would not even need a warrant to access it.

I send 50 emails/day — all of them would be archived and open to the police without a warrant.

I send invoices over the internet through electronic invoicing — all of them would be open to the police with no supervision.

Even the sale of this is suspect: This is to stamp out terrorism, or maybe it’s pedophilia or maybe it’s Asian gangs or maybe it’s the Hells Angels…

Translation: We’ll just keep throwing all sorts of bogymen at you so you shut your brain off and let us have what we want — access to EVERYTHING!!!

If the police can search anything electronic without a warrant and everything is electronic, then privacy is abolished.

This legislation would impact your practice hugely I am thinking.
