    The Charter contains this clause:

    1. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

    Which is what is applicable to privacy. This right, as with all rights in the Charter, is subject to “reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society”. Mandating digital service companies to keep tabs on everyone they serve in Canada, just in case it’s needed to investigate a crime later, seems like an uphill battle for the Government to justify in court, if that is what you were asking for.

        So you didn’t want conversation, you just wanted to get an answer about their contents?

        EDIT: lmao, this has gotten a lot of people quite salty to the point that they’re either deleting their comments or blocking me.

            They wanted a specific piece of information though, rather than opinions. You don’t have to be Canadian to read these documents

            Usually it’s asking for the purpose of generating discussion.

            Like, “What is the capital of Canada” doesn’t seem like a good question.

            “Why is Ottawa the capital of Canada” seems like a better question.

            “Who knows the capital of Canada” and then following it up with “ok and what is the longest street there” seems a bit silly.

              While not in the spirit of it, no rules are broken so it is acceptable.

              Do you know the longest street in Ottawa?

                Imma go ahead and say Bank St and wait to be proven wrong (think it actually is though).

                Edit: I’m technically wrong, it’s Dwyer Hill Road at 70 km long. Stupid amalgamation…
