DICTATORSHIP! DISCRIMINATION! (NON)DISCLOSURE! Ontario's Bill 183 Passes

From Anita Field:

OH. MY. GOD.

Ontario Bill 183 passed yesterday, November 1, 2005. It comes complete with a contact veto ($50,000 fine for any violation) and a disclosure veto which can be obtained by showing that disclosure of information will cause harm.

DICTATORSHIP! DISCRIMINATION! DISCLOSURE!

DICTATORSHIP
Dalton McGuinty, the Premier of Canada, commented to the press about the new bill: "We're saying to people `You've got a right to know but you don't have the right to a relationship."'

Premier Dalton McGuinty also said that Bill 183 “...allows information to be released while also giving people the tools they need to maintain their privacy.”

"We believe that we struck the right balance," McGuinty declared.

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. said, "Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere."

DISCRIMINATION
Bill 183 contains both a contact veto, carrying a $50,000 fine for violation and a disclosure veto to be gotten by showing that disclosure of information will cause harm.

"If you want to be free, there is but one way; it is to guarantee an equally full measure of liberty to all your neighbors. There is no other." - Carl Schurz


DISCLOSURE
Phooey! That’s what THEY say. Bill 183 is a NON-DISCLOSURE bill because it allows adult parties to an adoption to put a lid on the release of information. In my dictionary, disclose means to expose or reveal information - not to hide or prevent the flow of information.

"Oh what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive!" - Sir Walter Scott

I SAY: STAMP OUT DICTATORSHIP! DISCRIMINATION! (NON)DISCLOSURE
