We at @ICLMG spoke out against the new Entry/Exit program, which is now coming into force. It allows Canada Border Services to collect the information of everyone who leaves Canada by land to the US cbc.ca/news/canada/br…
@ICLMG The new rules means Canada will be collecting and retaining new information about millions of travellers to the US every year. This raises serious concerns about how this information it protected, and how it may be used (or misused). #cdnpoli 2/5
We raised questions about why this new information has become necessary, why it must be held onto for up to 15 years, and with whom the information can be shared (CSIS, RCMP, even foreign governments/agencies). Find out more here: iclmg.ca/canada-not-col… #cdnpoli 3/5
(And a note that there's what seems to be an error in the CBC piece. The new entry/exit program doesn't allow the US government to collect more information about people traveling to the US from Canada. The US already collects all this information - and more. 4/5
What it allows is for US border control to send information about people entering the US from Canada back to Canada Border Services, for the Canadian govt to hold onto. This will allow Canada to now track - in near real time - everyone who leaves Canada to the US by land) 5/5

Yesterday marked an important day for review of Canada's national security activities: The new National Security and Intelligence Review Agency (NSIRA) came into existence. newswire.ca/news-releases/… #c59 #cdnpoli 1/12
For the first time, there will be an overarching review agency that can examine the activities of all National Security agencies, including CSIS, RCMP, CSE, CBSA, Global Affairs & more. This is in contrast to the siloed approach until now: CRCC for RCMP, SIRC for CSIS, etc. 2/12
It definitely isn't perfect - @ICLMG & others have argued for increased staffing, more independence & greater transparency. There is a fear that problems from the Security Intelligence Review Committee (SIRC), on which NSIRA is modelled, will be transferred to the new body. 3/12

Good piece from @TomWalkom. It's true: we shouldn't be surprised that groups that challenge power, status quo, are spied on. Also important to remember that this doesn't mean we shouldn't push back on that surveillance,... thestar.com/opinion/star-c… #cdnpoli #protestpapers 1/7
...speak out about its impact on our rights, and demand accountability and transparency. @BCCLA, @PaulChampLaw and all the groups involved are doing such important work on this front. #cdnpoli #protestpapers 2/7
We can also see the rhetoric of the Harper years - "foreign funded extremists" - returning with the Kenney government, and it wouldn't be surprising to see it become prominent in the elections #cdnpoli #protestpapers 3/7

I live tweeted today's committee study of Bill #C59. Policy nerds will love it, but if you want the abridged version of what amendments actually carried, here you go:
1. In section 13 of the Intelligence Commissioner Act: A provision was added to allow the IC to refer an authorization back to the Minister with proposed conditions. From what I understand, applies only in the case of CSE foreign intelligence authorizations. #C59
2a. Bill C-59 proposes to amend section 83.221 of the criminal code, replacing "advocacy and promotion of terrorism offences in general" with counselling another person to commit a terrorism offence #C59

While I’m waiting for my plane from Orlando to Detroit, I am seriously thinking about live-tweeting the movie Star Wars from memory.
If anyone knows any reason why this should not happen, speak now or #force yourself to enjoy it
Having heard no legitimate objections, let’s begin.

Disclaimer: I haven’t seen Star Wars in a few years. These are my memories and impressions, which are 100% valid and factually correct so don’t AT-AT me. Star Wars joke
1) A BLAST of horns as the yellow Star Wars logo flings itself into deep space. I’m 7 years old and I’m already freeeeaking out

Listen up #Canada I’m talking to every #Canadian so please retweet this. The @CPC_HQ is itching to welcome two tier healthcare, American healthcare insurance industry wants in, just like the gun industry. Remember #Scheer saying #Canada needs the same guns America has, I do.
Andrew Scheer wants the same guns as Americans, why do you think he wants that? Ask yourself why, I’d bet it has something to do with the benefits of being the person who allows them access to our #Canadian money. We know the NRA “donates” to politicians. Does he want some too?
Andrew Scheer has not clearly said he wants a privatization of healthcare. He hasn’t said it out loud because he & Hammish know #Canadians would not vote for him if he did. He has hinted at it, “our failing healthcare” has come out of his deceiving mouth. Ask yourself why?!

*New thread* Today we've published two new reports on UK #land use & #biomass setting out why they're important in tackling climate change & how our land can help to build resilience to climate impacts. Here's a summary of both: theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl… and theccc.org.uk/wp-content/upl…
Kicking off with land use: Our report says fundamental reform to how land is used and managed is needed to deliver the UK’s climate goals. There is now a unique opportunity to define a better land strategy that can tackle the challenges of #climatechange. Read the Exec Summary.
Significant changes in land use could help reduce emissions by 35-80% by 2050. Figure 2.5 explains. Deeper cuts in emissions by 2050 require ↑↑ tree planting & peatland restoration, while the harvesting of biomass could help to displace emissions in energy & construction.

Last year, UN Human Rights Council "Special Rapporteur" Philip Alston investigated America's failed social justice system, and now he's examining Britain. Meanwhile, the only UNHRC Special Rapporteurs who've reported on Cuba & Venezuela, praised their social justice systems.
They may point to real problems, but it's clear these UNHRC experts seek to impose their own far-left economic policies by declaring that these are obligations of international human rights law. But in real life, millions have fled the countries that they hold up as models.
Here's how the system works:
1. Tyrannies go along in creating UN mandates to attack the West.
2. Social justice groups critical of the West feed their reports to the UN monitors & invite them to visit.
3. Tyrannies & social justice warriors both win; world's worst victims lose.

THREAD on new 9th Circuit decision in Rodriguez v. Swartz, our (@ACLUaz @sdACLU + @ACLU) cross-#border shooting case: On Oct. 10, 2012, a U.S. Border Patrol agent on duty in Nogales, AZ fired between 14 & 30 bullets across the #border. aclusandiego.org/wp-content/upl…
Approximately 10 of those bullets hit J.A. Rodriguez, a 16 year old boy peacefully walking down the street on the other side of the #border wall, in Nogales, Mexico.
The 9th Circuit opinion first *affirms* the AZ district court's decision denying Agent Swartz qualified immunity: 📢📢📢"It is inconceivable that any reasonable officer could have thought that he or she could kill J.A. for no reason." Slip Op. at 9.
