Bill C-22, which would allow for regulations requiring service providers to retain certain metadata for up to a year and develop capabilities in its systems for police and the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to obtain that information for investigations.

Almost every other week I get a email for "xyz company" saying the same thing.

"Your data has been compromised because our network was accessed by a outside third party."

I wonder how all this information stored by companies for over a year will now be protected, it will only benefit nefarious actors, scammers, and more then likely the company selling the data to third parties like ad agencies to regain costs of storage.
