Leslyn Lewis on Bill C-22 Warrantless Survelance

Leslie Lewis explains how Bill C-22 changes warrantless surveillance. Instead of having to get a warrant from a judge this bill creates a new system where telecommunication companies create a system that's ready for access. 

Then that system isn't accessed though the parliamentary procedure. It's accessed through back door regulations. This is a direct violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights which protects everyone from warrantless surveillance. 

Leslie Lewis has also expressed her concerns about how the term hate speech in bill C-9 can be weaponized as a political tool by any party in power. 

She also expressed her concerns about how bill C-8 gives the government sweeping powers over telecommunication companies to suspend users like they froze back accounts drug the Convoy. She states that "without liberty, there can be no security." Indeed. None of these back door power grabs are good for anyone exact totalitarian governments.
