The Canadian government will begin tracking every person exiting the country by land and air. It currently only has access to records of foreign nationals and Canadian permanent residents arriving at U.S. land ports of entry from Canada. (Toronto Star)

Talking point: The new tracking program aims to catch people who lie about their residency to claim government benefits, and track individuals travelling to engage in “terrorist activities,” according to the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA). But its breadth threatens Canadians’ expectation of privacy. The B.C. Liberties Association is concerned that data would be shared with foreign partners and among government agencies, said staff counsel Meghan McDermott. It’s already legal for CBSA agents to search travellers’ personal devices if they have reason to believe it will contain evidence of law violations. These reasons aren’t clearly defined in law.
