Canadian cyberbullying laws – Where are they now?

In the recent decision of the Nova Scotia Supreme Court of Crouch v Snell, the Court struck the Cyber-Safety Act, finding it to be unconstitutional. Specifically, the Court held that the Cyber-Safety Act violated section 2(b) (freedom of expression) and section 7 (the guarantee of life, liberty and security of the person) of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms. What impact does the Crouch v Snell decision have on the Federal cyberbullying laws?

Where does Canada stand on privacy?

Canada, like many countries, must answer a fundamental question: How does it achieve its law enforcement and national security objectives while also protecting and respecting the privacy rights of its citizens? “We hope the current administration and its privacy opponents can reach reasonable compromises that allow both groups to achieve their desired outcomes” Chris Stevens, CIPP/US, CIPP/C, CIPP/E, CIPP/G, CIPM, CIPT, and Steve Holland, CIPM, write. In this exclusive for The Privacy Advisor, they look at the high-stakes issues facing Canada’s quest to balance the two priorities and whether Privacy Commissioner Daniel Therrien is the right man to help it do so.
