🇨🇦 Liberal Bill Would Hand Police Streamlined Access to Your Data — Cost Unknown, Oversight Unclear

The Liberals are pushing a bill that would force telecom companies to simplify data access for CSIS and the RCMP — and nobody in government can tell you what it will cost or how the oversight mechanisms will function. Confirmed: a law expanding state surveillance capacity is being advanced without a costed framework or a credible accountability structure.

The same government that weaponized the Emergencies Act against peaceful protesters, froze bank accounts without due process, and built a censorship infrastructure through Bills C-11 and C-18 now wants frictionless access to Canadian communications data. The pattern is not subtle. Every expansion of state power arrives wrapped in safety language and stripped of cost transparency. Canadians who trusted these institutions with their privacy before 2022 should consider carefully what changed. The surveillance state does not announce itself — it invoices you later.
