In that case they'll -never- go away. But what will you say Paul, when at some point one of those dragnet-style roadblocks stops you, and you and your vehicle are searched, and while alcohol, drugs, or illegal weapons are not found, the police note that you have books and papers which advocate a political position (doesn't matter which one) that is out-of-favour with the government (either provincial or federal), so at the very least they make a record of that and flag you for 'further investigation' at some future time, or at the worst they cart you downtown while they notify CSIS that they just might have a terrorist suspect for them to interrogate. Of course you'll say it's far fetched, until it happens to you, but that is where these 'roadblocks' will ultimately lead, whether you wish to believe it or not. Mr. Ed "The FAMOUS Mr. Ed"
