[P-51]

Man, I can't believe nobody here caught this:

The Canadian government has bought the software and hardware to collect the data from our census forms from one of the largest American weapons makers: Lockheed Martin! I can't believe it. In this day and age when the Americans have sold out their rights to freedom and civil liberties, our government goes ahead and gives the Americans access to our sensitive information. :angry:

We're all f***ed now.

I can't believe this happened.

Quote:Statistics Canada argues that Lockheed Martin is limited to supplying the Census software and hardware. But computer software is highly technical and complex. We believe it would be entirely possible for Lockheed Martin to plant a "trojan horse" within the Census software, to secretly allow the CIA to tap into Canadian census data. If this seems absurdly paranoid, let us remember that the US government is trying to force creators of encryption privacy software to build in a special tap to allow government access into private citizens' encrypted data--all in the name of the "war on terrorism" . We are also talking about a country whose President, sworn to uphold the law and the Constitution, has admitted to authorizing wiretaps violating the privacy of American citizens. Sorry, Statistics Canada, but we believe your privacy assurances are hollow.
