The political cartoon, ‘PRIVACY WARS’ illustrated by Greg Perry displays the character, Darth Vader from the movie saga ‘Star Wars’ holding an article of the title “Bill C-51”. ‘PM’ is inscribed on Darth Vader’s suit, comparing between Vader and former Canadian Prime Minister (PM) Stephen Harper.

CSIS investigate mostly Muslims, because of the terrorist attacks that happened due to the jihadists. That would not be fair and equitable to other peaceful Muslims, since it is their right to be treated equally as the other citizens with different religions. In chapter three of the grade nine social studies textbook, there is an article named “No fly list.” This article explains how this bill violates the mobility rights.
