They waited until the last day—but the gov will be seeking an appeal at the Supreme Court.

We are ready and eager to defend our victory that found the Emergencies Act was used unlawfully and the regulations were unconstitutional.

MUST WATCH: @CDNConstFound warns Bill C-22 would create a sweeping "surveillance regime" that threatens Canadians' privacy.

"To have a truly free society, we must be free to make our choices without being monitored—and without even knowing we're being monitored."

Nanaimo's leadership encouraged the cancellation of Ben Bankas' sold-out comedy show, and now we're giving Canadians a chance to respond.

When governments gain new surveillance powers, citizens rarely get their privacy back.

Today, CCF Counsel @awsurgenor appears before Parliament's Public Safety Committee to expose how Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, threatens Canadians' privacy rights.

In Episode 135 of Not Reserving Judgment, a deep dive into a decision that says Waterloo Region can't tear down a homeless encampment because that would violate the rights to life, liberty, security of the person and equality. Plus, Alberta to hold a referendum on a referendum.

[CCF @CDNConstFound]

Bill C-22 would significantly expand government access to Canadians' digital data. The CCF's Josh Dehaas joins Elie Cantin-Nantel to explain lawful access powers and concerns around device tracking and metadata collection.

This week on the podcast, we tell you about a BC Human Rights Tribunal decision that finds holding the classical liberal view on DEI is not a protected political view, unlike socialism. Plus, we discuss the newly-created tort of intimate partner violence.

[CCF @CDNConstFound]

Canadians should not have to give up their privacy to feel secure. Bill C-22 would expand surveillance powers and weaken the protections that safeguard private communications and personal data.

TODAY: a major test for free expression in the digital age.

The CCF appears this morning at the Supreme Court in a case about Canadians' right to post honest online reviews without facing "SLAPP" lawsuits meant to silence criticism.

[Josh Dehaas @JoshDehaas]

Canadians are waking up to C-22's risks.

Two main problems:

1. Could allow for backdoors into encrypted services (eg: Signal)
2. Could require telecoms to collect up to 1 year of location data on all of us

We discuss this debacle on today's episode of our podcast, Not Reserving Judgment. I respect and like Jason, but this isn't criminal fraud. It is unlikely its civil fraud either (although I suppose they could try). I expect there were contracts and releases signed that were lawyered favourably for CBC, and the damages would be hard to prove (as I understand it, the victims here were paid, so the damages would be emotional and reputation).

The best bet is probably looking at the contracts for a breach of term. But then again, I assume the contracts are drafted to avoid that.

Willing to be corrected by someone who practices in civil or criminal fraud, this just is my high level take.

And absolutely gross behaviour by CBC and sure doesn't sound like a very funny "comedy".

[CCF @CDNConstFound]

This week on the podcast, we explain why Kelowna can move ahead with its petition to rein in Freedom Rally protesters, and we discuss an Edmonton Police pilot project using bodycams and facial recognition software.
