Whether or not you agree they should be doing this is another question altogether. This was specifically designed to give the provincial governments access. They are completely within their right to do this.
You might wonder if it's a PIPEDA/phipa violation or in Ontario we have Intrusion upon seclusion laws with tort damages for privacy violations. So the police for example could be found in default damages of $10,000 for these privacy violations. Not a problem for the police, they have the right to access it.
The interesting this is that Thunderbay is doing this. The thunderbay police are some of the most corrupt police in Ontario at the moment. There's a report which I have read that confirmed systemic racism by the thunderbay police. They would declare crimes against natives as non-crimes. They'd take natives, strip them naked and drive them out to the middle of nowhere and tell them to leave thunderbay. There was also a surprising number of dead natives in the river of tears that the police wouldn't investigate.
Not surprising to see the thunderbay police involved in more controversy.
