the canadian criminal code is bullshit!

[danyboy27]

Being utterly ignorant with the laws of my own country, i decided to check up the canadian criminal code, and wow, this is so fucked up, i just dont believe it.

according to the criminal code, it is illegal to hold talk of sedition, or even publish thing that would incitate to cedition.

It is also illegal to ''corrupt'' military personnal of working against the governement or to give to military personnal any material that could encourage some form of sedition.

The canadian governor can, in any time, make a proclamation and forbid certain group of individual to:
-participate in physical activity training
-being trained how to use weapon or practice it
-doing any military manoeuver.


its only a fews gem of the big bag of bullshit i was able to dig up by reading the canadian criminal code.

i just dont get, the whole sedition thing is in dirrect conflict with the constitution itself!
