Canada removing the Rights of their Citizens?

Summary: In the article “After Attacks, Canada looks to beef up Security Laws,” by Los Angeles Times, Prime Minister Stephen Harper, of Canada, states that a plan to give the countries security greater powers, will be put into effect. This statement was brought upon by the recent attacks in Canada. These attacks were designed to instill fear and panic in Canada, according to Harper. Harper wants more security power in areas including, gathering information, holding suspects, and arrest. Local Canadian citizens add that there is a need for more security in Canada. But they do not want lawmakers to overreact and take away Canadian’s freedom, which there is an abundance of. The Middle East is a battlefield for war, but United States military forces have found a dependable partner in Canada. This is because Canada has a peaceful image across the globe.

Analysis: I feel that, as Canada strengthens their military power, we (U.S.) will start to loose more and more friendliness with Canada. I think Canada is taking the safe way out of all of this madness in attacks. I think that this is the modern day world and is a good example of todays society. This is modern warfare. I think Canada has received a wake-up call to up their game in security. This is a bold statement, but a smart one. On the other hand, this is only a statement, no actions have been taken. If progress is made I think Canada will have made a change for the better. Minimal freedoms may be destroyed, but citizens do not understand that Canada is just protecting their citizens.
