US EditionMontrealers Protest Against Border Security Bill C-2
- On June 5, Conservative MP Frank Caputo voiced concerns in the House of Commons debate over Bill C-2, known as the Strong Borders Act, introduced by the Liberals.
- Bill C-2 aims to strengthen border security but includes provisions allowing police and officials to search Canadians' mail and access digital subscriber data without warrants.
- Critics contend that the bill bypasses Supreme Court mandates requiring warrants for accessing digital information and conceals extensive monitoring authorities that extend beyond the scope of border security within its lengthy 130-page text.

- The legislation has sparked public protests in Montreal and legal challenges, with opponents claiming it infringes on privacy, freedom of expression, and could lead to widespread surveillance.
