THIS MONTH, the federal government is rushing surveillance law reform through parliamentary study, with committee hearings on Bill C-22 slated to conclude before the end of May. The legislation—called the Lawful Access Act—would give Ottawa broad new powers to compel technology providers to build surveillance tools into their systems.

I'm very conflicted on this.

On the One Hand; We know that Hybrid Warfare / Foreign Interference will be utilized against Canada. That other states will use Canada's immigration policy to get their agents in the country. In that regard I do want the problem to be dealt with at the CSIS level vs the CAF level.

On the other; Obvious concerns I'm sure we all can relate to.

Still also; how much of this will become a moot point? WIFI can track people now. Current encryption techniques will probably become obsolete.

Humanity went from "photographs steal your soul" to, "no expectation of privacy in public" within 220 years. Perhaps we will undergo a similar change in mentality.
