Going over some of the more ridiculous details of the Liberal government's 'Strong Border Bill'. This is not what people voted for.

I gave this bill some fair, level-headed consideration earlier but overall I'm even less happy with it now.

Analyzing the bill has me see it is trying to mimic America's surveillance state in way too many areas. That ick really outweighs the parts of the bills that I thought could be helpful, like allowing for export control inspections to catch auto theft.

I just wrote an email to my Liberal MP, asking them to reject or re-write this bill to vastly narrow its scope. It's still early in the process so there's plenty of time for it to be fixed.
