| Manitoba MP Vic Toews |
Veteran politician for Canada’s Conservative Party / Parti Conservateur du Canada MP for Provencher,
Manitoba, and Federal Minister of Public Safety, Vic Toews, has had a difficult
few weeks. Toews has made a number of
political and social allies and enemies, but his recent sponsorship of
Bill-30 to decrease police dependence on official warrants for obtaining
digital subscriber identification information from service providers, and for
installing and activating so-called spy applications tracing the movements of
Canadian citizens both in Cyberspace and in the real world, has seemingly upped
the ante.
Already upset over what he feels was a probable retaliatory invasion of
privacy when Liberal Party staffer Adam
Carroll of Ottawa apparently twittered embarrassing details from public
court files relating to Toews 2008 divorce from Lorraine Kathleen Fehr and his affair with a family member’s nanny,
and yet a third simultaneous affair resulting in his having fathered a son with
Stacey Meek, Toews has demanded
certain changes to the court’s record management policies enabling stakeholders
to better track who has had access to that rather sensitive personal
information and for what purposes. While the court files are public record, Toews
has been upset that the identities of persons accessing the files are not made public. He might actually have a good point.
