Canada: This is really happening. We can't make it go away by ignoring it. This is orwellian level dystopia. The Canadian police will become thought police.
C-9 has now returned to the House of Commons for consideration of the Senate’s amendments (a relatively minor step, as the government has indicated support). Once the House concurs, it will proceed to Royal Assent by the Governor General and become law (likely coming into force 30 days later).
TRUTH BOMBS ON FIFA FROM DECLAN HILL "Well, first of all, FIFA is an organized crime group. That's the words of the Southern District of New York. A court has banged a gavel and said that group is full of racketeers, mobsters, convicted war criminals."
"And this is the group that we are handing tens of millions, hundreds of millions. And by the time the bill comes in, over a billion dollars Canadian taxpayers Money to do 10 soccer games."
"We've never actually had a debate in Canada... (politicians) will not allow a debate."
"They're suspending our civil liberties in much of these areas around the World Cup."
"...This, this is the number they're giving us today. They gave us other numbers last week. They gave us other numbers when they paid a bid for this World Cup. I guarantee you, Natasha, and please hold me to this... It's not going to stop at 82 million."
"It's going to be far north of a billion dollars because there's a whole bunch of money that those governments, federal, provincial and city have said we're not going to tell you."
"We should have had this debate two, three, five years ago when the hosting was given to us, when the decision was made for us to do this."
Watch it all! @declan_hill
