"The word "terrorism" has been sensationalized to the point where even saying the word scares people. So, all governments need to do to try to quell the masses is to make as many of us into terrorists as possible."

Ian told us how he received a letter from the Canadian Government a few weeks ago and was told he had to fill out an online questionnaire. He was told if he didn't fill out the questionnaire that he would lose his license to be an investment advisor. That caught his attention for obvious reasons...
