So, lemme get this straight…
The industry that’s comprised of those making a living from questionable surveillance want pretty much everything they do to be considered “outside the scope” of our privacy laws.

Didn’t see that one comin’!

And BTW, who are these insurance companies who have more powers than fucking CSIS does?

PrivCom is being treated as a joke, and being watered down by the very people they report to. It’s a shame that something that the world looks at with regard and respect can be treated like this and have no additional bite.

Guess the Corporation showed PrivCom who is boss when they can tell people in their klan to ignore them.

This was the orignal ruling that we had already bitched about here on this site (or I did at least):
http://www.priv.gc.ca/cf-dc/2009/2009_007_0504_e.cfm

Goes back a while. They just blew her off and blew her whole quasi-government department and role off.

Only makes the news now? eh, kind of late.

Big money will pull he strings on this ruling (and the puppeteers in parliament). Hence the no action by PrivCom.

That’s what happens when a quasi-gov agency/dept like PrivCom is toothless.

’scuse me as I go brush my tooth, which just happens to be one tooth more than what PrivCom has.
