This past week Canadian Public Safety Minister Vic Toews has been championing disgusting legislation that would allow police access to personally-identifying internet information without a warrant, all under the guise of protecting against child pornography.
His asshattery reached a peak when he responded to opposition concerns about the privacy implications of the bill with a statement that people can either stand with us or with the child pornographers.
The moralistic (anti-gay, anti-choice, "pro-family" Minister, often dubbed the "Minister of Family Values" has suddenly found his sordid personal past revealed on the Internet, via a brilliantly-titled Twitter feed https://twitter.com/#!/vikileaks30

The tweets go on to quote his ex-wife talking about his past affair with their 20-year old babysitter, his out-of-wedlock baby from a subsequent affair, their divorce, his stopping of support payments, etc.

Payback is indeed a bitch.

(32,822 posts)He sat on the gay marriage forum when it toured Canada. I spoke, primarily attacking the tactics of the anti-gay marriage side. He just sat there looking grumpy.
There are two official languages in Canada, English and French. When speaking at events of this sort, it's traditional to jump back and forth. They have a real-time translator for each language and headsets are available at the entrance. Some of the anti-gay marriage speakers found this highly offensive.

Stay classy, Canada. We need you balance the scales.
