🇨🇦 Carney Buries Mail Surveillance Powers in Budget Document

The Liberals just slipped warrantless-style mail search powers into page 145 of a 167-page economic update, because nothing says fiscal policy like shredding what's left of your privacy rights. Mark Carney's regime wants cops to crack open any envelope under 500 grams without the hassle they face now. Finance Minister Champagne defended hiding a public safety power grab in a budget doc by saying it's about transparency. You can't make this up.

Carney formed his majority with byelection wins and five floor-crossers, so this passes easily. First they wanted warrantless access in Bill C-2, got pushback, rebranded it as C-22, and now they're sneaking it through budget fine print. The excuse is always the same: drug smuggling, modern crime, law enforcement needs tools. The result is always the same: less freedom, more state power, zero accountability. Your letters are now their business.
