I am going to be super busy all day, but this response from the Office of the Information Commissioner of Canada just came into my inbox. I argued Public Safety Canada (emergency communications) services were violating privacy laws using corporate social media. They say they don't have jurisdiction to make the call. Would be interested in your guys thoughts on a response before I have time to think on mine.

@chris Gov't of Canada should not be farming essential services of any nature to the profit-driven private sector. This should protect privacy as well as the integrity of the service in question, whatever it is.

@chris The Information Commissioner of Canada does not enforce privacy laws. Hope this helps!

@chris If your argument is they're violating privacy laws, wouldn't that be more for the Privacy Commissioner? https://www.priv.gc.ca/en/

(I’m fascinated that they signed an English email "Greffe," like that's the name of the person who responded.)

@Cassandra i thought I would try the information commissioner first from an access perspective. But I will definitely try the privacy commissioner next

@chris I’m curious about your argument. What’s public safety doing?
