I believe Canada is also introducing legislation to increase the amount of data on its citizens that it shares with the USA. In the current climate these moves seem crazy. But I guess only fascists and billionaires (and billionaire fascists) get to decide what happens.
Any sources on that?
Until recently the Canadian government was pushing Bill C-2:
Canada’s Bill C-2 Opens the Floodgates to U.S. Surveillance (EFF)
They have now tried to tone it down a bit in Bill C-12 but there are still serious concerns:
Joint statement: Bill C-12’s introduction solves none of Bill C-2’s problems (Amnesty International)
So Canada's government talks tough, but in actual legislation they seem oddly eager to appease the USA at the expense of Canadians.
