Hey stupid. Our rights are protected by a Constitution and a Bill of Rights. You keep claiming the USA is all about freedom but there are more people in American jails and prisons than in any other nation in the world. Canada had fewer than 35,500 versus a population of 40.1 million in 2023. That's less than 1% of population.

The USA had more than 1800 per million. 1.8 % of the population - more than double that of Canada.
The United States has the highest number of prisoners worldwide. China followed behind.

You are one of the fortunate one. Some of us were born "undesirable" and our only sin is being smart, ambitious and blowing the whistle on child abusers. I was a kid!
As a lawyer told me "the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, great in theory eh"? I don't need to expand more as many on this site and in the U.S and Europe know my story well.
What do you think about these changes? Care to comment? All of our mail is fair game, so is our IP and other details without a warrant.
Go ahead and explain to me about methods I know very, very well due to being a victim.
The Strong Borders Act tabled on Tuesday amends more than a dozen laws that affect the rights of Canadians and non-citizens.

The “Strong Borders Act,” a
sweeping omnibus bill was tabled Tuesday. It has 16 parts, and amends more than a dozen laws in ways that affect the rights of citizens and non-citizens, measures that Public Safety Minister Gary Anandasangaree stated were a response to “some of the concerns that have been posed by the White House.” But it also includes long-standing requests by Canadian law enforcement agencies who waited for an opportune time to slide through legislative changes.
Those changes include allowing Canada Post to open any mail, including letters, based on vague criteria as well as allowing law enforcement agencies to get your IP address without a warrant, changes the government is making following court decisions that found Canadians’ Charter rights — the right to privacy, to determine when, how and to what extent you wish to release private information — had been breached by authorities. Now, they’ll have a right to get that information.
But that’s not all,
police will be able to ask digital service providers — who are heavily regulated by the federal government — to hand over your personal data voluntarily and it will protect them from being sued, if they do so.

Not only does the new legislation lower the bar for information sharing with the United States on particular cases,
the bill also gives the Canadian Coast Guard and the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), two outfits that do not currently have civilian oversight bodies, new powers. It also creates a new law that tells electronic service providers that they “must not disclose … information related to a systemic vulnerability or potential systemic vulnerability in electronic protections employed by that electronic service provider,” raising all sorts of privacy red flags and concerns about a slide towards secrecy demanded by the state.
