The Conservative government is scrapping its controversial and much-maligned Internet surveillance bill in favour of modest changes to Canada's warrantless wiretap law.
Justice Minister Rob Nicholson says Bill C-30, the so-called Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act, will not go ahead.
The law, which sparked a public outcry when it was first introduced, had been sought by police who said they needed it to go after child pornography, but it quickly met stiff resistance from privacy and civil liberties advocates.

Although there are still millions of extremely complacent Canadians, it's definitely good to see so many coming out of that bubble. There is so much going on in Canada and people are too busy worrying about what's going on outside of Canada that we might end up missing something like this at some point and it slips on by. Then we'll be in some serious trouble.

I posted about the CRTC and the wireless carriers earlier, as an example. Some Canadians are starting to wake up.

A significant victory for privacy, against this government, this is impressive.

Still not enough.

See how they tried to pass this bill using ''Protecting Children from Internet Predator'' as a title
