Report: PATRIOT Act Threatens Canadians' Privacy

British Columbia's Information and Privacy Commissioner has released a report (pdf) finding that the USA PATRIOT Act violates British Columbian privacy laws, and that personal information about Canadians may be accessible to the U.S. government under the Act. [emphasis added] The report concludes that changes to privacy law and other measures are necessary to protect British Columbians' personal information against seizure under the controversial American law. For more information, see EPIC's USA PATRIOT Act Page. (Nov. 1)
