Justice Centre report calls for eight-step roadmap to restore Canadians' privacy

CALGARY, AB: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms announces the release of its latest report, Privacy roadmap: Halting Canada's surveillance state, authored by veteran journalist and public policy analyst Nigel Hannaford. The report sets out an eight-step legislative roadmap to restore Canadians' privacy by reversing recent federal laws that have expanded government surveillance powers and weakened long-standing privacy protections.

The report argues that privacy is not merely a personal preference but a constitutional safeguard that underpins freedom of thought, freedom of expression, personal autonomy, and human dignity. It explains that when citizens believe their communications, financial transactions, or online activities may be monitored, they inevitably alter their behaviour and expression.
