Miguel Afonso Caetano<p>"Also at odds with the G7 statement is Canada’s own proposed border-security bill (C-2), which has been widely condemned by this author and numerous other rights groups for the ways it may open up transborder surveillance by foreign governments into Canada. As written, the bill might actually facilitate further transnational repression.</p><p>As my Citizen Lab colleague Kate Robertson noted in a recent analysis, Bill C-2 “contains several areas where proposed powers appear designed to roll out a welcome mat for expanded data-sharing treaties or agreements with the United States, and other foreign law-enforcement authorities.” In light of the authoritarian train wreck unfolding in the U.S., and the prospect of high-risk individuals fleeing that country for Canada, such data-sharing could conceivably become a tool of transnational repression used by our closest neighbour, not to mention other repressive regimes.</p><p>Pledges are important and the Canadian-backed G7 statement on countering transnational repression and abuse of spyware is certainly a very welcome one. But for Canada to actually translate those pledges into meaningful laws and policies will require some serious self-reckoning about how our own past and current practices are actually implicated in the very acts we have once again condemned."</p><p><a href="https://www.theglobeandmail.com/opinion/article-g7-transnational-repression-bill-c-2-carney/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theglobeandmail.com/opinion/ar</span><span class="invisible">ticle-g7-transnational-repression-bill-c-2-carney/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/G7" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>G7</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/CyberSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CyberSecurity</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DigitalRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DigitalRights</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Privacy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Privacy</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/Spyware" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spyware</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/DataProtection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DataProtection</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/PoliceState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PoliceState</span></a> <a href="https://tldr.nettime.org/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a></p>
