Yeah, C-51 is almost completely reasonable. What part about it don't you like other than the lack of parliamentary oversight?



Well, the lack of oversight is a big one. But I remain concerned about the overly broad usages/references to terrorism, "promoting" terrorism, and phrases referring to actions that undermine "the economic and financial stability of Canada".

If an Indigenous tribe protests a pipeline being built on their ancestral land, are they undermining the economic stability of Canada?

I don't like leaving the distinction between what constitutes activism and terrorism up to interpretation by the frontline LEO's and CSIS agents collecting and acting on the data.
