While this is being done, The Feds have also "reimposed" the Canadian version of "The Patriot Act"...this story is from my Janes Security Update this week...
Canada to reimpose controversial anti-terrorism measures
The measures allow for preventive arrests, detention without charge of up to 72 hours and forcing witnesses to testify at trial in so-called 'investigative hearings'. Harper admitted in a television interview that the measures had barely been used since they were originally introduced following the 11 September 2001 terrorist attacks on the US, but he claimed there were "times when they were needed"
He further stated that a range of security threats still faced the country, citing "Islamicism" as the "major threat" of most concern to the country's security services.
Canada has not suffered an attack by Islamist extremists, although 25 Canadians died in the 11 September 2001 World Trade Center attacks in New York. This was the largest number of civilian or military deaths in a single event outside the country since the terrorist bombing of an Air India flight by Sikh extremists in 1985, resulting in 329 deaths.
