The following is an excerpt from CBC news;
One allowed police to arrest suspects without a warrant and detain them for three days without charges if police believed a terrorist act may have been committed. The other allowed a judge to compel a witness to testify in secret about past associations or perhaps pending acts under penalty of going to jail if the witness didn't comply. Neither clause was used by police or prosecutors in the five years before they expired.
These are new pending laws. Couple that with proposed federal minimum sentences for five plants (2 years I think, no leniency on the part of the judge) and we pretty much have the whole security thing wrapped up. Add the ability to manipulate our useless Senate for government purposes and you have a shiny example of democracy

[edit 1: Harper says that the number one enemy to Canada is Islamicism. Last time I checked the number one enemy of Canada is snow. Do you know how many people snow kills in Canada each year?]
