Parliament Pushes C-22 While Police Intimidate Surveillance Critics

As the Canadian Parliament pushes Bill C-22 to expand lawful access mandates and weaken digital encryption, municipal police departments are aggressively fortifying automated camera networks like Flock. Law enforcement agencies are monitoring civic opposition at city council meetings and interrogating independent researchers who deploy counter-surveillance tools against patrol cars. This coordinated expansion hardwires surveillance into public infrastructure while actively penalizing democratic scrutiny.
