Canadians and Americans have always had somewhat different privacy cultures. Under the current administration, the current trend has been to diminish privacy protections, particularly for foreign nationals, and Canadians, of course, are foreign nationals in the U.S. What this does is it makes it more incumbent on us....
As my colleague pointed out, we don't get to dictate American policy, but what we do get to do with individual agreements is negotiate our terms. As general privacy protections in the U.S. are under siege and being eroded in a range of ways, it makes it all the more important that in specific agreements we make sure that our Canadian values are addressed in relation to agreements, because when there is no general protection, the terms of the individual agreement is all we have to make sure that we're safe.
