The book by George Orwell, 1984, is based on the premise of "how did we get here from there"?

By little bits at a time.

We simply MUST police our governments as they are changing laws a little at a time, eroding rights while appearing to enhance them. Immigration is a prime example along with laws governing terrorism.

We simply MUST police our governments

They are the ones who should be under 24/7 surveillance. Live feeds publicly available.

It would be like watching a Daycare.

I'm not intending to do anything morally or legally wrong - why are you watching me???

There really is no evidence to suggest the cameras don't help either - like I said, I am all for ANYTHNG that is done to try and reduce the crime. Anything, like the cameras, is better than nothing, which is what has been done so far thanks to our "laws" and the lack of Judges who will actually put someone behind bars.....heaven forbid the criminals lose their rights to roam free and prey on everyone else.....

Maybe they should be active only during certain times of the day. Like 6pm to 6am.
Then those who complain "but I don't do anything" will be excluded from being photographed and those who do will.

I've come to learn that means no Liberal governments in power......

Everyone on here who has concerns about this should be sending respectful emails to Privacy Commissioner here https://www.oipc.bc.ca/
Letting them know your concerns & opposition, again in a respectful manner.

So then I'm only a free person during the 6AM to 6PM window, but another time I choose to leave my home I'm not free?

How about the City put a curfew in place that no person shall be on the street between 6PM to 6AM ........ criminals convicted of crimes sometimes are under house arrest like this ..... but of course they are not 'free'.

See how this freedom thing works!

Camera's are not blocking your freedom they are helping keeping you safe. They are prevalent now almost everywhere in public you go.
