As a fellow Canadian you should know that Bill C-30 is gaining support, and there is apparent international pressure[1] from US and UK to pass this legislation.

Just as CALEA continues to be abused in the US against 'downloaders' it will be abused here just as well.

Personally I would prefer Canada continue to maintain its unwillingness to implement these policies and instead wait several years to study the effects of these CALEA-like laws on other nations.
