Yeah.  I just emailed my MP.


It is worth reading Geist in general.  I don't get arround to that
often enough.  One that I just read and got me mad was this one:

I listened to Peter Van Loan on the CBC's Cross-Country Check-Up
saying Canada needs Lawful Access.  He gave an example of a kidnapping
case where the investigation was heald up by a 36 hour delay in
getting ISP records, precious time during a kidnapping.

The progam is here:

Listen to about 7 minutes and 45 seconds in.  The interview starts a
little earlier.

Geist has uncovered evidence showing that this never happened.  The
kidnapping happened, but no request for ISP records was made.

Shame!
