Legal researchers Cynthia Khoo and Kate Robertson warn that a Canada-U.S. CLOUD agreement would extend the reach of U.S. law enforcement into Canada’s digital terrain to an unprecedented extent, and that if signed, this agreement would effectively allow U.S. police to demand personal data directly from any provider of an “electronic communication service” or “remote computing service” in Canada, so long as it had some ties to the U.S.

Yeah, failing to call in the exterminator the instant you see evidence of this type of invasive and predatory lawmaking is itself an act of treachery. It's completely unacceptable.

I can't even conceptualize what Canada would gain out of a treaty like this. It just seems like a cyberpunk version of an east india company. I'd rather not have some gig-contracted soldier showing up at my house to violently enforce their empire's claim on my digital soul.

Our government needs to be doing the exact opposite of whatever the US is trying to compel them to do.
