Earlier this year, Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino introduced Bill C-26, new cyber-security legislation.

Indeed, by September a coalition of groups and experts wrote to the Minister and party leaders, stating “Bill C-26 is deeply problematic and needs fixing”, warning that it risks undermining privacy rights. Brenda McPhail, the Director of the Privacy, Technology and Surveillance Program at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association, led the effort to place Bill C-26 in the spotlight. She joins the Law Bytes podcast to discuss the bill and the myriad of concerns that it raises.

Part 2 of our chat about neurotechnology delves a bit deeper... If people have fluid identities, can neurotech capture them? What does it mean to enhance a body and a mind that are constantly changing? What happens when people are uncomfortable, unconfident, and uncertain about who they are, what they are doing and where they are heading? Can neurotech help with this, or perhaps make it all more complicated?

What do you get when you combine "nervous system" with "technology"? Confusion, evidently! What is neurotech, exactly? Sure, it is technology that is attached to the body's neural activity... But what part of the body? Does it affect the body, and if so - how? Why even build this technology? Who builds, and for what reasons? And as ever, what are the social, ethical, and privacy implications of doing so? Soo many questions, and so few answers - even for experts like our wonderful guest, Dr. Brenda McPhail, Director of the Privacy, Technology & Surveillance Program and member of the National Security team at the Canadian Civil Liberties Association. Even a Canadian thought leader in our rights around technology is often uncertain about what exactly is going on with #neurotech. Why? There is a ton learn to learn, and all of it is worth openly talking about. So come be confused with us! Confusion has a lot to teach us, especially about what can happen to our rights and liberties if we don't ask the right questions about technology on and inside our bodies... Subscribe for updates!

In March of 2017, Sidewalk Labs, a sister company of Google, was chosen by Waterfront Toronto to develop Toronto's Port Lands. Waterfront Toronto is an organization administering projects along Toronto's Waterfront; it is made up of a partnership between 3 levels of government; The City of Toronto, The Province of Ontario and the Federal Government. The deal was meant to develop the eastern waterfront property known as Quayside, which is the largest area of undeveloped waterfront property in a major North American City. On April 16th 2019 CCLA along with co-applicant Lester Brown commenced proceedings against Waterfront Toronto; seeking a reset of the Quayside Project. CCLA argued that Waterfront Toronto never had the authority to turn a Toronto neighbourhood into a data surveillance testbed nor to make policy regarding the collection, ownership, management or control of residents data. The Quayside project would permit the commoditization of personal data and let Sidewalk Labs do non-consensual mass surveillance. This is a violation of Canadian's personal and collective privacy rights under the Charter of Rights and Freedom. CCLA argued The Quayside project was in violation of 3 sections of the Charter.In this episode of Justice Vs., we speak to Dr. Brenda McPhail, CCLA's Privacy, Surveillance and Technology Program Director,  Dr. Ben Green author of The Smart Enough City: Putting Technology in its Place to Reclaim Our Urban Future and Assistant Professor in the Gerald R.

Privacy, as we've come to learn, is not about keeping secrets: it's about social and political control. We want to know what 'tech for the people' looks like, and how we can stay connected without the eavesdropping, snitching, and behavioural mapping of our lives. In this digital reboot of social justice, we ask our listeners to think-twice about the systemic consequences of unethical software. Join RUDE as we navigate along the many twists & turns of the new tech frontier.

Brenda McPhail says the CCLA will go to court if governments do not fulfil their legal obligation to protect the public interest.
