Canadian ISP’s would be forced to become Net spies, if new plan goes through

Private and anonymous Canadian Net accounts will be wide open to Canadian police and intelligence agencies if a plan revealed at the annual meeting of the Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police (CACP) goes through.

The scheme – floated in a ‘discussion draft’ – also suggests creating a national database of every Canadian with a Net account.

Dressed up as a way of, “keeping our laws current so that the police can do their job and keep Canadians safe,” the plan was offered to the CAP meeting.

“A central element of these proposed options would require all wireless, wireline and Internet service providers to have the technical capability to provide access to communications and information, under legal authority, to law enforcement and national security agencies,”

While there are obvious privacy concerns, the proposal *does* say it can only be exercised with lawful authority (such as a warrant). A necessary evil in light of the new threats faced everyday? Perhaps.

p.s. Canadian beer is NOT better then American – a huge misconception!
