flag Canada revises its border security bill amid criticism over privacy concerns and U.S. pressure.

flag The Canadian federal government plans to revise its controversial border security bill, introducing new legislation on borders and immigration as early as this week. flag The move follows widespread criticism over the original June proposal, which would have expanded authorities' powers to search mail, access personal data, and delay or cancel immigration applications. flag The government cited national security concerns, including transnational crime, fentanyl trafficking, and money laundering, amid pressure from the U.S. under President Trump, who threatened tariffs over migration and drug flows. flag Over 300 civil society groups opposed the bill, warning it endangered civil liberties and privacy. flag The revised legislation aims to balance security with individual rights.
