Reviewing Bill C-4 debate, Minister @FP_Champagne literally did not say one word about political party privacy provisions in his speech on the bill. Government burying anti-privacy measures in the bill and hoping no one notices.

Growing up Jewish in Canada often meant a police presence at events but it was largely background noise. No longer. I never thought the relentless, open antisemitism would become the norm and that politicians would exhibit such cowardice in failing to act.

Huge SCC ruling:
“If s. 8 of the Charter is to meaningfully protect the online privacy of Cdns in today’s overwhelmingly digital world it must protect their IP addresses. An IP address is the crucial link between an Internet user and their online activity“
xitter.cf/SCC_eng/status/1763576…
The Court has allowed the appeal in R. v. Bykovets. It ruled that a request by police for an IP address is a search within the meaning of section 8 of the Charter. Read our plain-language summary here: scc-csc.ca/case-dossier/cb/2…. #CdnLaw
