@ONCA_en recognized that carrying digital devices is a necessity of modern life and leaving/entering Canada is a constitutional right under section 6 of the Charter. The Crown can't ask us to choose between the two.
The Court of Appeal for Ontario confirmed that s. 99(1)(a) of the Customs Act is unconstitutional because it allows groundless border searches of digital devices. ALG's Samara Secter and Jocelyn Rempel represented the @cancivlib as intervener.
