The average Canadian would be outraged if you told them that Canada Post was going to start logging every piece of mail they received and where they sent mail so that third party companies could analysis the data and look for suspicious activity.

It's really no different to the telephone company logging all your phone calls, which has happened for many, many years. The important thing is that the information can only be handed over by the phone company on receipt of a court order, which is precisely what ISPs will be required to do under the proposed British legislation, for example. As long as there are adequate legal safeguards in place, I have absolutely no problem with this, personally.
