Canada\u2019s privacy laws are supposed to protect ordinary citizens from unwarranted intrusions into their personal lives.<\/p>\n

But they can also protect pedophiles. Dead pedophiles. Dead pedophiles from America.<\/p>\n

Serial child abuser Jeffrey Epstein \u2013 convicted and jailed in 2008 for prostitution, including soliciting prostitution from a minor \u2013 was allowed to visit Vancouver in 2014, despite his U.S. criminal record.<\/p>\n

His travel to Canada was revealed in the millions of documents released by the U.S. Justice Department and <\/span>reported on by CBC and others.<\/span><\/p>\n

CBC journalist Mike Crawley wanted to know how Epstein got into the country. He was told by a spokesperson for the responsible agency, the Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA), that \u201cwe cannot provide comment on specific cases as a person\u2019s immigration and border information is considered personal information and is protected by the Privacy Act.\u201d<\/p>\n

Epstein again sought entry to Canada as a temporary resident, but in 2018 the Government of Canada got it right: our consulate in Los Angeles refused to issue a permit, citing his criminal record. That\u2019s also in the Epstein files, which the U.S. government released with no apparent concern for Epstein\u2019s privacy. (American privacy laws are less restrictive than ours.)<\/p>\n

Given the lack of explanation for Epstein\u2019s mysterious 2014 visit to Vancouver, I asked under the Access to Information Act for all CBSA records on the case.<\/p>\n

I recently got a response, if you can call it that: \u201cNothing disclosed.\u201d The agency cited Section 19(1) of the Access to Information Act, which protects the personal information of another individual. You can read the rejection here:<\/p>\n

And so one of the most notorious pedophiles in modern history carries his privacy to the grave, at least in Canada. People are guaranteed privacy for at least 20 years after their death, which means we might not get the full story of Epstein\u2019s sojourn in Vancouver until 2039.<\/p>\n

But what\u2019s really being protected here is…<\/p>\n
