CREDIT CARD PURCHASES FOR CANNABIS MAY NOT BE PRIVATE – Why is this a concern? “Storing data in the Cloud or in proprietary software means there is likely disclosure of that personal information outside of Canada.” and “Access to the personal information of cannabis users may be used by some countries to deny entry.”

Federal legislation makes it legal for Canadians to enjoy cannabis in the privacy of their homes. That legislation, however, does not necessarily offer privacy protection for cannabis purchasers

BREATHALYZER MAINTENANCE RECORDS – Yes that’s right. In order to take a look at breathalyzer maintenance records to see if the device has been properly maintained we now have to bring an application showing they have not before we can see if they have.

In a trilogy of impaired driving cases the Supreme Court of Canada decided today, the appeals of two Alberta men who had demanded maintenance records for the breathalyzer instruments used following roadside pull-overs were dismissed, while the Quebec Crown’s appeal of a demand for disclosure was also dismissed.
