This video delves into the idea of warrant canaries—a transparency tool used by tech companies to signal when they’ve received secret government surveillance orders. With Canada’s new Strong Borders Act (Bill C-2) giving the Minister of Public Safety power to secretly compel electronic service providers to alter their systems for surveillance, companies operating in Canada may want to consider these. I explain what a warrant canary is, how it works, and trace its history from the early USA Patriot Act era and National Security Letters in the U.S. through real-world examples.
