Allowing/Requiring in cryptographic back doors in LTE 3G and 2G was a bad idea

National, International and criminal elements all spying on Parliament.

Cell phone "IMSI catchers are used by law enforcement, federal agencies as well as organized crime and foreign intelligence."

I wonder now that politicians realise just how many unfriendly stingrays there are do you think they will realise that allowing/requirin in cryptographic back doors was a bad idea.


Politicians can be assured that information gathered is and will be used to not only gain secrets, but also used to change the government and blackmail politicians.

Police Corruption

Police corruption,
The task of corruption control is to examine the barrel, not just the apples

"“The ‘rotten apple’ theory won’t work any longer. Corrupt police officers are not natural-born criminals, nor morally wicked men, constitutionally different from their honest colleagues. The task of corruption control is to examine the barrel, not just the apples – the organisation, not just the individuals in it – because corrupt police are made, not born.”

Research found that much of the slippery slop to corruption could be avoided, if questionable activity was dealt with openly. Police with nothing to hide are not easily enticed into hiding the corruption of other Police within the force.

Canada has fallen into a Housing Speculation Economic Trap.

Canada has fallen into a Housing Speculation Economic Trap.
But Canada is not alone.

[[
speculation crowding out productive investment -> fall in productive investment -> low output caused by money sucked out of the economy -> low interest rate to increase money supply required for economic growth -> enabling highly leveraged speculation -> speculation crowding out productive investment ->
]] if loop not broken, continue until economic reset, also know as a great depression

If economy self supporting loops forcing economies into a downward spiral scare you, GREAT! Because you should be, because if the imbalanced economies causing this spiral of self destruction are not resolved, it will only end after an economic reset also know as a great depression

There are two fundamental ways to break the "Speculation Economic Trap" spiral. The first way is discussed in detail in the paper I have cited. It is simply raise the interest rate to prevent highly leveraged speculation. Raising the interest rate will force overly leveraged Housing Speculation Investors to sell their assets.

This has are least 3 problems:
- The first is the vast majority of Housing Speculators are Home Owners who invested their retirement savings into Housing. The forced sale of overly leveraged Housing will drive down prices substantially and these retiring Home Owners who are speculators not by choice will loose their retirement money.
- The second, the real problem is land speculation.
- The third problem is that price of the best farm land which is usually near cities is often set by Housing speculation not Farm crop productivity. As result the best farm land is permanently lost.

I proposed solutions that address the real problems directly.

Speculation driven home prices also sucks enormous amounts of money into speculative investments out of the economy away from productive investments.

Also excessive housing cost driven by speculation is a major reason families are not having children and economies are suffering as a gray recession result.

1) 30% to 40% of all new development should be Co-Op so that home buyers are not forced to be property speculators. This will free up home owner's money to be spent in the economy stimulating growth through more productive investments.

2) At the provincial level subdivided home lots are too small for redevelopment into mid / high rise buildings and provide no opportunity for community parks to replace peoples back yards. And cul de sac need to be removed to allow for high density communities.

3) At the City level remove individually approved redevelopments creating cronyism and replace it city wide redevelopment regulations.

Another problem with the current individually approved redevelopment, is it hides the land redevelopment value and creates a gambler's game. The gambler's game makes it possible that the land property will be worth a lot more than imaginable today. Of course we don't know which properties will win the payout, But because all the gamblers know that properties will probably eventually pay out, all the gamblers bid up the prices to unimaginable values. Gambler pricing which is speculative pricing ECON101

4) When farm land or other green space is taken, set money aside in a trust fund to reclaim under utilised land and return it to farm land and forests.

Publication paywalls slows Research and Development No paywalls. No journal subscriptions.

Bill &; Melinda Gates Foundation removes paywalls enabling faster Research and Development.
No pay walls. No journal subscriptions. It is not a new idea.

As an individual and small Canadian business, sci-hub is essential for my research and development. Sci-hub has enabled multiple patents, without sci-hub I would not be able to significantly contribute to the Canadian economy.

Scientific publications should not be behind paywalls creating technology monopolies. Trade agreements that restrict sharing technology are major problems that will decrease Canadian economic growth.

Sharing information insures that it is used and remembered increases information's value.

Restricting access to information decreases the value of information as it will be forgotten. Restricting access to information necessary industrial development or political / economic accountability reduces economic growth.

The largest academic publishers have had very little incentive to wholeheartedly embrace open access. By doing so, they would diminish the value of their copyrights and reduce their profit margins, which can be substantial.

Short answer: Journals charge so much because they can. A university is expected to have access to journals (by faculty, students, etc) and so libraries don't have much choice except to pay what the publisher demands (what economists call "inelastic demand").

The lack of cost effective rentals is forcing evermore residents to be Home Speculators.

A strong economy is important.
An accountable Government is even more important.

Even thinking about adding Encryption Backdoors shows fundmental missunderstanding!!

1) These people (RCMP and their supporters) really don't understand how a privacy assured cloud works.

It depends on the codification of laws, which provides detection and reporting of violations without compromising privacy.
The codification of laws is fundamentally important, because without them. The unlimited access will be abused for personal gain.

If not by the police, buy criminals who find these security backdoors.

2) YOU are thinking about this WRONG.

Because even in your example of home entry. There is a very clearly visible action of gathering information. Which is easily denied / hidden when performing an electronic search which has been allowed by a issued search warrant.

The law as it reads today deny citizens notification that they are under investigation and as result are not provided notification required to seek legal defense. This legal defense is integral to the legal process protecting people and more importantly making the public aware of excessive use of search warrants.

This same public notification needs to be provided in the digital world.


-----------
Once an investigation has been triggered. In the digital world the amount of real time information available is many times more. So there needs to be multiple levels of search warrants.

Search warrants are codified increased reporting. For example when and only when an arrest or trespassing warrant is issued, should a facial pattern be distributed to facial recognition equipment.

It is ALL about VERIFIED codification of laws including search warrants. The verified codification of laws is a critical component required to insure everyone follows the rules. We know without that assurance, rules will be broken for personal and political gain. The criminals may be international gangs or national / foreign state powers braking the system and using it against its "good" intent.

All levels warrants require PUBLIC notification when and why the warrant goes into effect. Why, because enforcement is about deterrents. Avoiding warrants is a significant criminal deterent. People will do a lot to avoid these warrants and knowing when and why they are issued is a critical part of this. This is true for small crimes and large crimes.

4) I expect my digital privacy to be at least equal to my physical world privacy.

If there are large databases tracking my meta data, indicating who my friends are. These databases will be uses to incriminate by association.

The use of facial recognition needs to be triggered by CODIFICATION of laws. The same way a police officer is triggered by illegal events, be it shop lifting or speeding. Without an illegal event people must not to be identified, because the communicated information of the location of identified people can and will be used to incriminate people by association.

Lack of privacy in the digital world is NO different than lack of privacy in the physical world. If my daily activities are monitored and recorded, than people who don't like me can and will use that to make my life DIFFICULT by disrupting my daily activities. The simple central gathering is sufficient, because with sufficient motivation this will be used against people who oppose those in power. A sad joke is that the greatest crime you can commit is disrespecting a police officer. But there is no such crime as disrespecting a police officer. I can get into legal details, but you know exactly what I mean. The same is true for political protesters disrespecting the decisions of the political leaders and their backers.

Just look at the Quebec Police spying on reporters.

"Provincial and municipal police were tracking the calls to find the sources of leaks to media, including one case involving an officer implicated in a probe into allegations that cops had been fabricating evidence, "

And when Political Parties see personal gain, by helping their financial and power backers you KNOW you live under authoritarian rule.

6) Having access to my home address and phone number does not provide the detail tracking of my daily activities that having my IP address does. This complete loss of privacy is scarcely always wondering who is watching my every activity and gathering information about what my interests may be. Having my name and home address and phone number does not allow anyone to track my every interest!

I could be young man living with my family going to a pornographic site. Knowing that someone is tracking my sexual interest based on my ip and where my ip is used is WRONG. GET out of my bedroom.

7) The balance between public and private notification is important. It should be public record after the cased has be prosecuted. But private before. If the case is dismissed or otherwise rejected only the statics should be retained.

The publication of investigation can destroy employment opportunities and relationships.

However verified private notification is always required.

Bill C51 was NOT written to authorize torture. It is carefully written NOT to prevent torture, which means torture is authorized!!!

Bill C51 was NOT written to authorize torture. It is carefully written NOT to prevent torture, which means torture is authorized!!!

"(3) The Service shall not take measures to reduce a threat to the security of Canada if those measures will contravene a right or freedom guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or will be contrary to other Canadian law, unless the Service is authorized to take them by a warrant issued under section 21.1."

Finding one Judge somewhere in the country willing to issue a warrant is easy. This process is specifically here to enable torture or other activities contrary to Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or will be contrary to other Canadian law.

There must be no exceptions to Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or other Canadian law. Otherwise the Canadian Charter and other Canadian laws are flushed down the toilet and are not worth the paper they are written on.
------------------

section 21.1 outlines the restrictions placed on the warrant issued. And there is none, as you see on subsection (d)

(3) Despite any other law but subject to the Statistics Act, if the judge to whom an application under subsection (1) is made is satisfied of the matters referred to in paragraphs (2)(a) and (c) that are set out in the affidavit accompanying the application, the judge may issue a warrant authorizing the persons to whom it is directed to take the measures specified in it and, for that purpose,

(d) to do any other thing that is reasonably necessary to take those measures.

The persons directed to executute the warrant may believe that psychological torture is reasonably necessary.
------------------------------

"12.2 (1) In taking measures to reduce a threat to the security of Canada, the Service shall not
(a) cause, intentionally or by criminal negligence, death or bodily harm to an individual;
(b) wilfully attempt in any manner to obstruct, pervert or defeat the course of justice; or
(c) violate the sexual integrity of an individual."

In other words psychological torture including water boarding and drug induced psychotically torture are allowed without limitation.
--------------

And there is nothing more effective than torture for creating suicidal hatred, terrorism. Once people have been tortured they can NOT be safely released, without a real possibility that they and their loved ones will seek retribution on the perpetrators of torture.

In summary when authorized by a single Judge, Bill C51 enables the complete disregard of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms or other Canadian law

The problem is Bill C51 is the corruption of Justice!!
The corruption of Justice is a incredible recruiting tool for terrorist seeking ultimate revenge and destruction.
