Have you read Canada’s constitution?

Do you mean the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or the laws titled British North America Act that were later named Constitution Act in 1982, which also put the Charter into force?

Because my answer is yes to the former, no to the latter.

And, if anyone hasn't read the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, put aside five minutes and read it.

Canada is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God

You dropped the most important word of that sentence; the word that means, "This sentence has no legal bearing."

You mean the "whereas"? Doesn't that just mean that this is a given and everything coming after is based on this?

Even less when you skip the meaningless parts subject to the NWC.

No. But I'm not Canadian. However, now you've made me curious (otherwise I wouldn't have responded).

If you have does it say anything about privacy?

The Charter contains this clause:

  1. Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure.

Which is what is applicable to privacy. This right, as with all rights in the Charter, is subject to "reasonable limits prescribed by law as can be demonstrably justified in a free and democratic society". Mandating digital service companies to keep tabs on everyone they serve in Canada, just in case it's needed to investigate a crime later, seems like an uphill battle for the Government to justify in court, if that is what you were asking for.

So you didn't want conversation, you just wanted to get an answer about their contents?

EDIT: lmao, this has gotten a lot of people quite salty to the point that they're either deleting their comments or blocking me.

I figured it was about a relevant discussion topic.

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
