Internet users' privacy upheld by Canada's top court

Internet providers can't, provide customer names and addresses to police, without a warrant.

Government, Senate reviewing decision

The government is reviewing the decision, said Bob Dechert, parliamentary secretary to Justice Minister Peter MacKay during question period Friday.

"In addition," he said, "we'll continue to crack down on cyberbullies and online criminals who work against and make our children and all Canadians unsafe."

"Conservatives" (current FEDERAL GOVERNMENT) are steamrolling ahead with Bill C-13, which allows unconstitutional spying on Canadians.

Recent reports show that law enforcement and government agencies have been routinely asking Canadian telecommunications companies for information about hundreds of thousands of their subscribers each year without a warrant.

Rogers Communications released a report last week showing that it received almost 175,000 requests for information about its customers from government and police agencies last year.

CANADA BORDER SERVICES AGENCY alone, accessed telecom customer data almost 19,000 times in one year — and without a warrant, more than 99 per cent of the time.

In 2011, the Canadian Wireless Telecommunications Association reported to Canada's privacy commissioner; its members received 1.2 million requests for customer information in one year and, disclosed information about 780,000 customers.
