Internet privacy and user rights have long been a hot topic of debate in
the U.S., but next door neighbor Canada has been relatively quiet on the
issue. Things are about to heat up in Canada as the current Liberal
government tries to pass something called the Modernization of
Investigative Techniques Act (MITA) or Bill C-416.

The bill allow government and law enforcement agencies to access private
citizen information without a warrant. Bill C-416 makes it possible for
scenarios such as limited digital and analog wiretapping. Additionally,
ISPs will also be required to give full customer information if needed.
