In one of his first orders of business, Prime Minister Carney introduced Bill C-2, also called the Strong Borders Act. Many parts of this Bill have little or nothing to do with the border at all.
Oh I see. I read a bit more carefully and it seems that Greenpeace’es reporting might be outdated on the lawful access bits of C-2. Reading from Michael Geist it seems that they’ve been removed from the bill:
The government today reversed course on its ill-advised anti-privacy measures in Bill C-2, introducing a new border bill with the lawful access provisions (Parts 14 and 15) removed. The move is welcome given the widespread opposition to provisions that would have created the power to demand warrantless access to information from any provider of a service in Canada and increased the surveillance on Canadian networks.
But we have to be vigilant as Canadian governments have been trying to pass lawful access since Harper.
That’s just lawful access though, nothing to do with the rest of the nastiness around immigration which is still there.
It’s time protest hard against this veiled authoritarianism!
Do you know of any protests that I could join?
Did they table the amended C-2?
They have split the bill off into separate ones hoping we wont notice.
