Tor is pretty strong cryptographically. Couldn't a government make an entire area of Tor unusable by torrenting?

They don't have deep packet inspection no, but they can block particularly problematic IP address ranges or ports.

Of course there's nothing to say that the exit node isn't behind something with some more intelligent packet inspection capabilities.

I believe Tor exit nodes can be configured to only provide access to certain protocols, address ranges, etc. For this reason I believe the administrators of exit nodes are more likely to drop certain problematic traffic in favor of killing the entire network.

Now I'm not disagreeing... But you could argue that should you be typing / copy & paste 'ing commands from a random website into your terminal ;)

I like to think so to... just happens that I don't ;)

I'm betting this is a get on the voters good side thing. Motivations aside though, I'm still pleased that they're pursuing this.

If it makes you feel any better, it's not just Québécois, in Europe people hold a similar opinion of the "French" French :)
