This study examines how in situations of national emergency, security measures increase while civil liberties decrease. The state of crisis during this moment in Canada is articulated through an analysis of Canada's Anti Terrorist Act and various government strategies employed to legitimize this law. The purpose of law during times of national crisis is questioned due to the potential of criminalizing innocent people during this crisis. Various fears induced through the state of emergency are examined in relation to the possibility of governmental manipulation of fears in order to justify increased security measures. The function of fear experienced daily by people in a state of crisis becomes an essential aspect to understand the moment in which we are living. This study investigates the type of citizen that is produced during times of national fear and the potential difficulty for the fearful human to participate critically in a democratic liberal life.
