I also naively thought that by "killing" C-30, the online surveillance bill, the Canadian government was respecting the wishes of Canadians who vomited all over it. C-55, introduced on the exact same day, however, retains the ability to bypass warrants, at police discretion. Couple that with the ratification of ACTA (which the EU flat out said NO to), and escalating language over copyright, and C-30 is still on the Canadian government's agenda. All they did was boil it down to the crux: warrants come second.
