Do you support Bill C-51, which expands local police and intelligence agencies’ authority to prevent terrorism?

Yes, but they should be monitored carefully so they don't step over the line.

No, the complete disregard which Bill C-51 displays for civil rights in the interest of averting 'terrorism' is an egregious example of self-fulfilling prophecy.

There is no doubt we are presently living in a dystopian world, but in western countries tend to see this through "rose colored glasses". I personally believe, we are in a global crisis. This emerging terrorism, is a symptom of these corporation wars for the control of foreign resources i.e., oil. These Middle Eastern countries have a feudal age mindset and are acting much like Europeans did a thousand years ago. Some radicals are, in fact envious of the progressive nature of democratic countries, and seek to destroy what they could never achieve through peace and prosperity.

I do not support racial profiling and such (which is where many people would develop suspicion). As terrorism is increasing, I find it more important to support defence and preventive measures. The less fault we have is safest. Education is more important to support, and I am opposed to control at this chaotic time. Premature detaining would not stop extremist plans anyway, as I have noticed.

Make something like the CIA.

Don’t know enough about it

Δεν είμαι σιγουρος

Abolish the police

No unless sufficient evidence is presented to say otherwise (actual proof of them being a terrorist) spying on someone you think might be a terrorist is not ever OK

Yes, if a House of Commons committee is tasked with reviewing the decisions made by intelligence agencies in enforcing this act.

It’s a difficult question because I don’t want my privacy to be invaded but I don’t want any terrorism to happen

No, there is already very little terrorism in Canada

No. Privacy is the most important aspect of a free society, and this bill limits that greatly.

No, but only because the Canadian police are already terrible at doing the jobs they are responsible for now - doesn’t make sense to give them more responsibilities that they likely can’t handle. This should be a military responsibility.

As long as it does not step on my freedom

Yes, Big brother, should be enacted for increased in security and safety. Not only for terrorism but other crimes committed.

Yes, but only after a constitutionality test, but regardless, we have enough laws to prevent and deal with these crimes.

Yes, but all I know is that it prevents terrorism.

Don’t know enough about bill C-51

Neutral; not enough known about the bill.

i need more info

Yes, but more clarification is required for how much power will be given to the police.

Not knowledgeable enough to choose

In between. It's good to be educated but now that they are, there might prejudice which should not be aloud.

I need more information before I can make my decision

Yes, but expand federal agencies instead and keep the amount of power they have outside of counter-terrorism to a minimal.

Yes, but roll back the section stating that police can arrest based on suspicion.

Yes, but the government should only "detain or restrict terror suspects" if they have concrete evidence.

Yes, but keep a large watch on them.

Yes, but the bill is a bit vague regarding certain issues, and could be taken advantage of

Yes, so long as it doesn't interrupt the rights of Canadian dissenters to peacefully organize and protest. The bill should be completely transparent, vagueness leads to mistrust, and often abuse of power. I don't think any rational-thinking/law abiding Canadian would be against the government's anti-terrorism efforts, however, if there is concern about the broad language in Bill C-51, it should be addressed.

I need someone to explain it to me in a non complex way

yes with oversight.

Anti-terrorism units are a good thing, until it's not. Racism is a big part of anti-terrorism, and supporting a bill that promotes anti terrorism is a good thing, but it's a slippery slope towards innocent people being accused.

No, it makes it easier for the police to target minorities

acab but sometimes we need them t keep the country safe, make sure that if hiring more cops that they are good people

yes but with regulation.

No, the bill is too vauge and may be abused through racial profiling

no it may stop some but intrude o the privacy of innocent people

Yes, as long as the power is not misused to invade people's privacy and jeopardize their rights as Canadian citizens.

i need to research the bill and see what else it allows

Yes, but with clearer language and policies to protect the privacy of the public.

Yes but must add training to Identify actual terrorism

No, it's too vague and is a pointer to a police state

Bill gates yEAH!

Yes, granted that the bill is made less vague and removes possible loopholes

Yes, but give less authority to police so they don't shut down legitimate protesters

i do not like bill c-51 and no i do not support bill c-51 :/

Yes, but only with ex-convicts, possible threats, and with new immigrants for a few years (depending)
