Not a single person here has brought up Stephen Harper, except you. It sounds like you're itching for a fight.
The point of the "op-ed" (which is, by definition, an opinion piece) is to raise awareness that our public representatives have issues with the legislation, and hopefully move the debate into the public sphere. I don't see anything wrong with that.
Now, whether this deserves to have made it onto the front page of HN, that's debatable.
