Bill C-22 will lay the legal groundwork for giving the US warrantless access to our data
BY KATE ROBERTSON |

There are already reports of an alarming pattern of abuse of powers by US authorities to seize subscriber information behind anonymous online speech that is critical of the current US administration. Earlier this month, it was reported that the Department of Homeland Security demanded that Google disclose the subscriber and location data of a Canadian—located in Canada—who expressed opinions against Immigration and Customs Enforcement online.
The Canadian government defends the changes in Bill C-22 on the grounds that access to subscriber information by Canadian or foreign law enforcement authorities will still be supervised by Canadian court judges. But that may no longer be the case if a CLOUD Act deal goes ahead.

A MESSAGE FROM THE WALRUS LAB IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE AGA KHAN MUSEUM. THE MUSEUM WISHES TO THANK NADIR AND SHABIN MOHAMED FOR THEIR FOUNDING SUPPORT OF THIS BEING HUMAN. |

Some museums you visit. Others, you dream. |

In this episode of This Being Human, produced by The Walrus Lab for the Aga Khan Museum, host Mai Habib speaks with artist and filmmaker Khandakar Ohida about her award-winning film Dream Your Museum.
Inspired by her uncle’s collection of more than 12,000 everyday objects gathered over 50 years, the film explores how imagination and storytelling can transform ordinary spaces into living museums. From a mud house to the Victoria and Albert Museum, Ohida reflects on art, identity, and the power of dreaming beyond what feels possible. |
