Two tiered citizenship now in Canada
As a result of this new law, dual citizens and people who have immigrated to Canada can have their citizenship taken away while other Canadians cannot. Bill C-24 could easily be used against non-terrorists—for example, a journalist who is convicted of a “terrorism offence” in another country for reporting on human rights violations by the government. https://bccla.org/2015/06/its-of ... p-goes-into-effect/[49]
Harper turns 863,000 Canadians into second-class citizens. "Say you were born in the United Kingdom, like me and 126,000 other Canadians, and have dual citizenship. Even if you’ve never lived and never intend to live in the U.K., you can now be deported if government thinks it has cause. In fact, the new rules say that all you have to do to merit the asterisk is have a claim to citizenship elsewhere, so anybody with a grandparent born in the U.K. likely falls into this category. Overnight, we have some Canadians discovering they suddenly have fewer rights as citizens than, say, native-born career criminals."http://www.vancouversun.com/stephen+hume+harper+turns+canadians+into+second+class+citizens/11410121/story.html?__lsa=a606-1c0d[50]
I always knew I wasn’t an “old-stock” Canadian. But I was very shocked when one day I woke up and discovered that thanks to Bill C-24 I had somehow become a second-class Canadian. Old age security. All you have to do is look at the application form and you will see that for non-Canadian born citizens proof of our arrival and citizenship is not enough to qualify. Canadians born here are not asked to document every address they have ever lived at in order to get OAS. Are we assumed to be cheats? http://www.thestar.com/opinion/c ... class-canadian.html[51]
It means that government would reward them citizenship for “good behavior” and could take it away for “bad behavior”. This is a form of “punishment,” and in fact, an unnecessary punishment, especially when there are other avenues to deal with the so-called “bad behavior”. The introduction of citizenship as merely a privilege, and not a right comes from the negative perception that immigrants are cheaters. It constructs the idea that immigrants, refugees, foreign workers, and naturalized citizens are terrorists or criminals and need to be deported to their “home countries.” http://www.sfu.ca/education/cels ... rner/bill-c-24.html[52]
On your privacy:
Environmentalists obstructing a pipeline route or a peaceful blockade of a logging road by an Indigenous community could all be seen as threats tonational security and charged as terrorists. https://bccla.org/2015/03/8-thin ... ow-about-bill-c-51/[24]
C-51 Criminalizes speech acts that have no connection to acts of violence. https://bccla.org/2015/03/8-thin ... ow-about-bill-c-51/[25]
Since C-51 has passed and is now law, Canada’s no-fly list is now a secret list compiled with secret evidence, only reviewable through court proceedings that may also be secret. https://bccla.org/2015/03/8-thin ... ow-about-bill-c-51/[26]
More than 100 academics are urging the government to drastically alter C-51, the Conservatives' proposed anti-terrorism legislation, arguing it is far too broad and doesn't come with safeguards to protect Canadians' privacy rights.http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ ... emics-say-1.2975233[27]
Conservatives shut down review of C-51 after only 3 days to ram through bill despite strong warnings from experts:http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/ ... emics-say-1.2975233[28]
Privacy commissioner is concerned the federal government is taking toonarrow a reading of a recent Supreme Court of Canada decision that limited warrantless access to Canadians’ personal information.http://www.thestar.com/news/cana ... ternet_privacy.html[29]
