Just who appointed the Privacy Commissioner and how do WE THE PEOPLE know we can trust them?

[kodac]

This joke of a government must go. I am ashamed to be Canadian. 😞

Solution to many of our problems is to use bank of Canada to invest again in building a more inclusive society

I'd like to know where Canadians concerns were when Pharmacies across Canada started requesting drivers licenses and photo I.D to get their prescriptions or an over the counter medication? Did that not disturb them? Where were Canadians with the photo recognisian mandate on driver licenses? Did everyone miss that invasion of privacy? Or every time your license is scanned for I.D at liquor stores and now Marijuana distributors? I'd like to know how Canadians didn't see or don't see that as a massive breach of privacy. Or the data mining that happens there. As much as this is infuriating Canadians, the government has been taking your data for a very long time. To me this seems like they are trying to take control of banks and their privacy standards. And banks have always been releasing your private information, mind you with consent to third parties where god knows what happens to your information. We have entered the mad world of technology and it is highly unregulated. And if anyone believes that government has any interest in protecting citizens privacy or rights to privacy from any side, they are sadly mistaking.

He may trust the work of the Privacy Commissioner but we, the Canadian people do not - especially under this Liberal government.

[lovetrump]

we love Canada but we need to fix it bad

[agentone]

I say absolve the government. Replace it with E-Democracy. We always talk about politicians not doing a good job, maybe it is time to start taking matters into our own hands. We have a representative democracy, it is time to move to direct democracy.
