Demonstrators across the nation held signs and chanted against the bill, which they believe violates Canadian civil liberties and online privacy rights.
Protester Holley Kofluk told CBC News that the legislation “lacked specificity…it’s just so much ambiguity, it leaves people open [and] vulnerable.”
Thousands of demonstrators have united across Canada to take action against proposed anti-terrorism legislation known as Bill C-51, which would expand the powers of police and the nation’s spy agency, especially when it comes to detaining terror suspects.
Organizers of the ‘Day of Action’ said that “over 70 communities” across Canada were planning to participate on Saturday, according to StopC51.ca.
Congress Qs political espionage,
Shri Modi this kind of political espionage,snooping may be Gujarat model but not India model
Congress on Saturday demanded an explanation from both Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on the alleged intrusion by Delhi Police into Congress Vice President Rahul Gandhi’s personal life.
“This kind of political espionage, snooping, surveillance and intrusion in political opponent’s life may be Gujarat model but not Indian model,” said Congress spokesperson Abhishek Singhvi.
“A few days ago, an ASI from Delhi Police headquarter was found snooping, making unnecessary and weird remarks at Rahul Gandhi residence. When stopped by SPG, it was found he was trying to fill up a form with weird questions about Rahul Gandhi’s height, colour of eyes, hair,” added Singhvi.
The Congress leader said, “India is a proud democracy, not a police state. We are a vibrant democracy. This kind of political espionage is condemn able.”
He added that Congress will take up the issue in parliament.

Nasheed jailed for 13 years
Former Maldives president and opposition leader Mohamed Nasheed has been sentenced to 13 years in prison on a terrorism charge after what rights groups said was a “flawed” trial, sparking international concern over the honeymoon islands.
Nasheed called on his supporters to take to the streets to protest against the sentence after a trial his party said was “blatantly politicised”.
“I appeal to all of you today to stay courageous and strong, to confront the dictatorial power of this regime,” his office quoted him as saying.
Nasheed, the Indian Ocean archipelago´s first democratically elected leader, was convicted late on Friday under the country´s tough anti-terror law of ordering the arrest of a chief judge when he was president in January 2012.
The 47-year-old was then taken to Dhoonidhoo prison on an island near the capital Male.
Nasheed´s lawyers resigned before the end of his brief trial, saying it was biased and aimed at destroying his political career.
It came amid growing opposition to the government of President Abdulla Yameen and will effectively prevent Nasheed from running for president at the 2018 elections.
The opposition has held regular night-time rallies over the past year to protest what they call growing authoritarianism, which has damaged the atoll nation´s image as a tourist paradise.
Local media reported that police clashed with Nasheed´s supporters across Male after the verdict.
Nasheed´s Maldivian Democratic Party (MDP) said the verdict dealt a blow to the young democracy seven years after it embraced multi-party elections following three decades of rule by former strongman Maumoon Abdul Gayoom.
BIMSTEC Economic Program – $500b Investment Opportunity
March14, 2015 (C) Ravinder Singh ravinderinvent@gmail.com
BIMSTEC Economic Region with Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Sri Lanka and Thailand as members has huge untapped Natural Resources requires regional cooperation for development and progress of people. Over $500b capital investment is required to lift the region to over $5,000 per capita GDP. Large area from Nepal to Thailand has practically no connectivity – surface or air and Connecting Infrastructure beyond national boundaries has yet to get priority.
Clean Energy: – BIMSTEC has over 200,000 MW Hydro Power Potentialyet to be developed including over 100,000 MW of top priority Multi-Purpose Dams that produce Power, control Floods & Supply water for Agriculture& other uses. The region has Oil & Gas reserves though enough for just public transport needs not for fueling Cars but Solar Power and Electric Vehicletechnology has matured already.
Energy Interchange: – Some countries in the region huge Hydro Power Resource others Coal and some others Oil & Gas. BIMSTEC countries need to form Energy Interchanges for Most Economical & Cleanest Use of Energy. Nepal for example may sell Hydro Power and get Oil & Gas from Bangladesh.
Highways & Railway connectivity for free movement of goods, services and people AND KNOWLEDGE is desirable for Economic Progress of the region requires Ten Fold Increase in Annual Outlay.
Broadband Services & Knowledge Sharing & Development: – Knowledge Sharing in the region doesn’t require VISA just Broadband services. Power Transmission Lines Could Also Support OPTIC FIBER networks and Provide DIGITAL Connectivity to even least accessible regions, who may provide IT & BPO Services to Developed Countries from their home towns.
BIMSTEC-ASEAN PATENTS COOPERATION TREATY: – During British Rule region was served by Commonwealth Patents – file a Commonwealth Patent and get IPR protection in all the Commonwealth Countries. BIMSTEC-ASEAN PATENTS COOPERATION shall promote Zukerbergs of the region.
Food Processing: – Remote and Inaccessible regions have low population density and huge surplus Fruits & Vegetables production and transporting Un-Processed Fruits & Vegetables over many thousand kilometers leaves little margin for growers even as consumers pay Ten Times for Unripe, Raw and 20-30 days old Fruits & Vegetables. Most fruits & vegetables, Milk & Meats have less than 1-4 days shelve life.Processing of Foods shall add value to the Economy of Least Developed regions and reduce transport expenses.
Food Processing, IT&BPO Companies Need Minimum Capital Create, Maximum Jobs and Value Additions Could Come Up in Months should get highest priority. BIMSTEC may allow FREE movement of Foods through International Borders.
