Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, is being pilloried by civil liberties experts and the tech industry alike for the potential risk it poses to our privacy online. But legislation like this is only possible because of the profound lack of understanding so many of our elected leaders have about why privacy matters. Read More

Regular readers know that this column has not been an inexhaustible source of flattering reflections on the Carney government. This makes it a particular pleasure to support a number of the prime minister’s initiatives last week. The tenor of his speech to the Economic Club of New York was a complete change from the antagonism of his confected Churchillian defiance in his election performance last year based on selling our gullible countrymen the canard that President Trump was on a personal ven
