This is why the NDP has allways stood up for civil liberties
One of the main reasons that I have been proud of the New Democratic Party over the years is our stance on civil liberties. From Tommy Douglas et. al. voting against the War Measures Act to the NDP being the only party to be consistently opposed to the Anti-Terrorism stupidity coming out of the federal government in recent years (that the liberals enacted opposed)
Why?
Because of stuff like this
Americans learned today that the F.B.I. has been abusing its authority under the Patriot Act to obtain private information about American citizens without judicial approval. So says a report issued today by the Department of Justice’s inspector general.
