Internet service providers would have to make it possible for police to intercept online communications and get subscriber data under new federal legislation tabled Thursday.

Minister of Justice Rob Nicholson and Public Safety Minister Peter Van Loan announced two bills intended to modernize the Criminal Code and give law enforcement officials new tools to chase after those suspected of using the internet and other new technologies to communicate and commit crimes.

The first bill would:

Allow law enforcement officials to obtain transmission data that is sent or received via telephone or internet if authorized by a production order.
Require telecommunications companies to keep data related to specific communication or subscriber if that information is needed in an investigation and requested via a preservation order.
Make it a criminal offence for two or more people to agree to or arrange child sexual exploitation by means of telecommunications.
Modernize the system for tracking warrants.
The second bill would:

Require telecommunications service providers to install and maintain "intercept-capable" equipment on their networks.
Provide police with "timely access" to subscriber information, including names, address and internet addresses.

Im guessing this is more for petifiles rather then iks usres.

I would agree. It is likely to be used to track serious offenders ... molesters, murderers and the like. The possibility that they may (as always) make an example out of people in more "harmless" issues does exist. Our law enforcement agencies are likely more concerned with the terrorist than any "FTA-ist."

welcome to the world wide control grid. The internet was the last bit of hope the people have against a police state. Now the government will control that too. We have nothing left to spread the truth.

this must be a canadian thing as the U.S. government has had Carnivor
(which captures virtually all internet traffic) since 9/11/01

In fact where I live a guy and his wife were busted for growing pot because he bought grow lites from High Times Magazine,the U.S. government has a standing order to check all mail order sales of anything that could be used in a unlawfull manner,and not just the obvious bad stuff but things that are know to be used to make unlawfull products.

That's why I alway use a prepaid credit card from like walmart and have any materials ordered delivered to my neighbor's house cause he's gone most days until evening and if he's there he takes it thinking it was delivered to the wrong address for me...lol
