While i haven't experienced one of these new "super" police roadblocks, i
have a big, big problem with them. Is anyone else a little bit troubled by
them?  Has anyone gone through one yet and can fill me in on what they're
like?  Now some people might say that we need for these in the "War against
Terrorism" (ya right) or the other standard "If you're not doing anything
wrong, then don't worry".    The only thing i see is random searches of the
general public.   Gives me the feeling of being in some country that's ruled
by the military.  What next, checkpoints at Pizza Corner?  Travel papers
needed to get to Truro?  Probably a bit extreme i realize but it feels like
Canadian's rights are really going downhill lately.  Do we really want to
pay taxes for the luxury of someday being randomly searched just because
you're going to visit family in another city?   Personally, i'd rather my
tax dollars go to things that really matter to me, like the health care
system.
