Canadian Law Professor Michael Geist notes that Canadian lawmakers are again pushing sweeping new surveillance laws. Mirroring U.S. leadership belief that warrants and privacy rights are a hindrance, the three-pronged legislative overhaul will focus on allowing the disclosure of ISP customer data without court oversight, requiring ISPs to rework their networks to allow real-time surveillance (AT&T can certainly provide tips), and expanding law enforcement authority to allow broader access to this newly farmed data. As in the States, a lot of the rhetoric supporting the bill focuses on stopping child pornography and other Internet bogeymen, while ignoring that current laws already work well to battle such crimes.
