The Globe and Mail reports that the Feds would love to put video cameras in all public transit but they don’t have the cash right at the moment. Transportation Minister Jean Lapierre isn’t scared though:
“According to all the security reports I read, there are no immediate threats to Canada; however, it’s one of the countries targeted by the terrorists.”
Although I doubt he takes public transit often.
The Globe doesn’t mention any privacy concerns. Perhaps the Feds should be looking for funding to put video cameras in all private vehicles as well? Especially white vans, SUV’s and most importantly MP’s vehicles. For their own saftey.
