New Substack on Bill C-34 - What’s New and the Same. Of course, today a new private sector privacy bill was tabled (Bill C-36), so the digital policy space in Canada is truly on fire at the moment. open.substack.com/pub/emilybla...

Tomorrow the Fed Gvt will table a Digital Safety Act. Many of us have worked in this space for a while and I expect this will consume our attention for months to come. On that note, here are a few thoughts on what I will be looking for when I read the bill tomorrow. open.substack.com/pub/emilybla...

With @f-mb.bsky.social, happy to share our op-ed on the need for digital policy surrounding privacy, cybersecurity and AI to be central to the new government's agenda and why: shorturl.at/SnidA

Digital policy surrounding privacy, cybersecurity and AI must be central to Mark Carney’s agenda
Whatever existential threat Canada faces, technology is at the centre of it. It will also be at the centre of the next CUSMA negotiations.

Just be grateful that the Pentagon Papers case was presented to the Court in 1971 and not 2025!

After years of consultation #BillC63, now to be split, is ready for Committee study. This is critical legislation to advocate for the vulnerable and hold platforms accountable. My latest with @pierretrudel shorturl.at/ZNSS9. Merci pour la collaboration et l'opportunité d'écrire en français.

Online Harms Bill #C63 split. This is an impt step. Pre-study starts tomorrow with Justice - I appear Monday. Part 1 aligns with global standards, some of which were developed by conservative govts. This could and should be bipartisan. The structure is sound, now for amendments. shorturl.at/xKe4C
