BEWARE - Canada Border Services Agency WILL Read Lawyer's Mail - Via PogoWasRIght - Privacy News Headlines:

I can report this because it happened to me and not a client. The Canada Border Services opened mail addressed to "Todgham Cherniak, Counsel, Lang Michener LLP". The Canada Border Services Agency knew the package was being sent to a lawyer at a lawyer's office and they opened it and read it. I know because the package arrived re-taped and a stamp notified me that the contents were "EXAMINES / RELEASED - CUSTOMS - TORONTO - DOUANES, EXAMINE / LIBERE". However, there is no indication of the date that this invasion of privacy occurred and there is no indication of the identy of the officer who made the decision to examine my package. There certainly was no reasonable or probably cause to examine this lawyer's mail.
