This bizarre legislation will create Internet surveillance that is:

Warrantless: A range of “authorities” will have the ability to invade the private lives of law-abiding Canadians and our families using wired Internet and mobile devices, without a warrant or any justification.
Invasive and Dangerous: The laws leave our personal and financial information less secure and more susceptible to cybercrime.
Costly: Internet services providers may be forced to install millions of dollars worth of spying technology and the cost will be passed down to YOU.

If enough of us speak out now the government will have no choice but to stop this mandatory online spying scheme. Sign the petition now, and forward it to everyone you know

Formula SAE  is a student vehicle project in which students design build and test a formula style race car to compete in international collegiate competition. The competition, hosted by the Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) in Fontana California, sees 80 universities from around the world compete and share their knowledge of automotive engineering. Every year the team is required, by competition rules, to prepare a new vehicle. In order to achieve better design the team operates on a two year design/build cycle. This involves a full year of design and a full year of manufacturing and testing. Formula SAE challenges not only a student’s technical abilities, but also requires skills in project management including scheduling, budgeting, and leadership.
