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 dont have enough knowledge of this subject to have a proper opinion, but from the sounds of the organization's plans and ideas i would say i support it.

Yes if the bill was framed to reflect explicit expectations, repercussions, rules, regulations, definitions of terms such as terrorism, if there are any exceptional circumstances etc.
