S. Lewis wrote some pretty good sci-fi, some excellent kids books (which Disney managed to ruin), and my favourite satire on the commercialization of Christmas. Most people, though, would know him as a writer on Christianity. So I wonder if Stephen Harper and Vic Toews have ever read him. One of the things he wrote was, “It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies.” Bill C-30 (sometimes known as the Investigating and Preventing Criminal Electronic Communications Act, sometimes known as the Protecting Children from Internet Predators Act, and sometimes just known as “the online spy bill”) is heading for Committee of the Whole.
