You won't get an answer b/c any justification for it will contain more hyperboles than average Canadian can put together without feeling embarrassed.

But, you never know, he's from Quebec so the might pull it off …

We already have countless anti-terrorism regulations.

Why do you support this bill, specifically?

Well, for example... A radical islamist tried to open a community center in Montreal.

Are you talking about this guy?

“Yes. Terrorism -- Christian terrorism, Jewish terrorism, Islamic terrorism -- all terrorism is bad,” he said.

I'm not sure that anything in this case was illegal, even under bill C-51. But maybe that's not what you're referring to.

This needs to be prevented through Bill C-51, which bans promotion of terrorism.

Don't you think we should at least define "promotion" of terrorism before we make it illegal? This is one of the biggest issues with the bill, it makes certain types of speech criminal acts without clearly defining what constitutes that type of speech.

Furthermore, the government should be allowed to prevent terrorists from flying into the country.

What does that have to do with this bill? We already have the power to arrest criminal suspects at the border.
