I get both sides. Law enforcement does need tools to keep up with digital crime, but there isn’t enough clarity on oversight or limits. Without clear accountability, these powers could easily be abused, and the line between legitimate investigation and unnecessary surveillance becomes blurry.

Even with the updated bill, there is still no requirement for judicial review in routine cases. That means police can access personal information without a neutral party confirming it’s necessary. For me, that’s a big step away from the privacy protections Canadians have relied on for decades.
