The recent case of R v Khairullah, 2025 ABCJ 14, found that the "know your customer" requirements for scrap metal dealers in Alberta violates Section 8 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The Court determined that requiring scrap metal dealers to collect and record personal information of sellers, and then provide it to a police-accessible database, makes the dealers agents of the state conducting unreasonable searches.

Many classic stories have privacy themes. For the Holidays 2024, I take a look at the Charles Dickens classic A Christmas Carol. You may not know, but its a story of creepy intrusion into the private lives of the Chratchitt family, a tale of your [digital] legacy and how to curate it.
