C-11 may actually be a dead issue at this point; The European Union Parliament is currently debating on the legality of ACTA, and the Americans are seeing similar constitutional challenges; ACTA is definitely unconstitutional on several points in the United States. It would be more difficult to challenge it from a constitutional standpoint in Canada, but it still technically violates parts of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Pertaining to freedom of speech and expression). C-30, on the other hand, Vic Toews' pet project, may still be alive and well, but it's taking heavy flak for the reasons I'm about to outline.

C-30 is the one to be well and truly concerned about, as it permits extrajudicial searches of any data-center without a warrant, and permits the assigned agent (Who does not even have to be a police force member, they can be part of a privately appointed and unaccountable group or hired contractor) to seize, copy, and remove any information they see fit within the bill's provision; Your browsing habits, your IP addresses, unique hardware identifiers, telephone number, full name, address, all personal data the ISP has about you, outbound and inbound telecommunication records... from the entire data-center, from any customer of that data-center, regardless, without a warrant, upon demand. Does this sound a little Chi-Com to anyone? Okay, so it's to "catch child predators". But it's warrantless, boundary-free on-demand and unaccountable data-gathering, without any kind of tangible limitation on why they can even seek the data in the first place. C-30 would literally allow the government to walk into your ISP or tel-co, wave a badge, and demand free roam of the place, to copy the entire local archive if they saw fit, without a warrant (And by extension, with next to no documentation or proof-of-intent and proof-of-need).

Anyone else find it a little funky that a man who wants to scrap a gun registry on privacy grounds, would propose something like this?
