| XFaCE | qu1j0t3: One of the major unanswered questions about Bill C-30, the lawful access/online surveillance bill, is who will pay for the costs associated with responding to law enforcement demands for subscriber information ("look ups") and installation of surveillance equipment ("hook ups").

| qu1j0t3 | there is a reason for everything that the NYT prints | Mar 16 18:53 |
| schestowitz | what about Paul K? | Mar 16 18:54 |
| qu1j0t3 | he always was an aberration, but it doesn't prove anything. | Mar 16 18:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | all the most corrupt outlets have their outliers -- e.g. Huffington POst | Mar 16 18:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | there is a reason why they have outliers. | Mar 16 18:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | because it punctures "most people's" perceptions of corruption | Mar 16 18:56 |
| qu1j0t3 | "But what about Krugman" doesn't really settle anything, but it's a first order deflection. | Mar 16 18:57 |
