I owe

This is blatantly false. They know StatsCan is an independent agency&no data was collected.
We strengthened Canada’s privacy regime&proposed the most significant privacy reforms in decades. Not unlike Harper's muzzling of scientists, this is a clear attack on science and facts.
In November 2018, the Trudeau Liberals secretly forced banks and other financial institutions to release Canadians’ personal financial information without consent. Minister Bains ran Trudeau’s controversial data harvesting program at the expense of Canadians.
