In a professional update, I’ll be joining @IPCinfoprivacy as a Senior Technology and Policy Advisor in February. I’m looking forward to the opportunity to work with the excellent folks at the IPC, and to use my skills to advance the privacy interests of Ontarians!

@watchdozka Frustrated and frustrating, perhaps, but not frivolous or vexatious :P

For the past several weeks I’ve been slowly uploading rafts of 🇨🇦ATIPs about encryption, national security, lawful access, Huawei, export controls, and more to my website. You can find and download (most of) them at: https://t.co/kC3saWA1t8

[Christopher Parsons @caparsons]

These documents, broadly, may help other academics and public policy wonks understand the various histories of some of these contentious--and still lively!--legislative and policy debates. As I have time, and resources, I hope to continue posting historical ATIPs.

"The gov plans to provide further cybersecurity powers to the Communications Security Establishment.

But given that @cse_cst is impeding lawful review of its activities, we should hesitate before giving it more powers."
