Canada is reviewing the law that lets U.S. border officers screen travellers at Canadian airports before they fly to the U.S. This is called "preclearance" - you clear U.S. customs in Canada, so you land in the U.S. as a domestic passenger. The...
Why This Matters: Ever flown to the U.S. from Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal? You've been through preclearance. U.S. officers questioned you on Canadian soil. This review asks: do they have too much power? Too little? Are your rights protected? If you've had a bad experience - or a great one - this is your chance...

When someone dies unexpectedly in Ontario, an autopsy may be performed. Right now, tissue samples can only be kept to investigate the death itself. The province wants to change that. Under this proposal, DNA samples could be stored for up to 50...
Why This Matters: Lost a family member suddenly? This could help you years later. If a genetic heart condition caused their death, testing their stored DNA could reveal whether you carry the same risk. Families would also have the right to say no—samples can be destroyed on request.

Service Alberta and Red Tape Reduction (AB)
Alberta is exploring three consumer protection upgrades. First, right to repair—letting you fix your own phone, tractor, or appliances instead of paying authorized dealers. Second, lemon laws for new vehicles that keep breaking down. Third, credit...
Why This Matters: Ever been told only the manufacturer can fix your phone or tractor? That could change. Bought a new car that's constantly in the shop? You might get real recourse. Worried about identity theft? Credit freezes could let you lock down your credit report. If you've seen a loved one forced into debt...

Mississauga, ON
Mississauga wants to stop landlords from using fake renovation plans to kick out tenants. Right now, some landlords claim they need to renovate, evict tenants, then rent to someone new at higher prices. The city's draft by-law would require...
Why This Matters: Renting in Mississauga? This could protect you from losing your home to a fake renovation scheme. Landlords would need a real building permit before they can evict you. If you're forced out for legitimate repairs, you'd have the right to return at your old rent.

Government of Alberta (AB)
Alberta is exploring whether to replace the RCMP with its own provincial police force. A 2021 study found the idea was realistic and cost-effective. The government held stakeholder sessions in 2021-2022 and is now gathering broader public input...
Why This Matters: This could change who polices your community. Rural Albertans have raised concerns about RCMP response times. A provincial force might mean more officers in smaller towns—or it could mean a major transition affecting how 911 calls get answered.

Alberta is looking at ways to stop predatory towing companies from taking advantage of drivers. Right now, some tow truck operators show up uninvited at accident scenes, pressure stressed drivers into using their services, then charge outrageous...
Why This Matters: Ever been in a fender bender and had a tow truck appear out of nowhere? Some drivers have been hit with surprise bills of hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Worse, some companies won't tell you where your car is until you pay up. If you drive in Alberta, this could happen to you.

Why This Matters: Use a disability parking placard? This review could change who qualifies and how you renew. If you're blind or deaf, you might finally become eligible. Have a permanent disability? You may not need to visit a registry office anymore just to renew.

Alberta is reviewing how it splits RCMP policing costs with municipalities. Right now, towns that use provincial RCMP services pay a share based on a 2020 formula. The province wants to know if this model is still fair—especially for small and rural...
Why This Matters: Live in a small Alberta town? Your property taxes help pay for RCMP services. This review could change how much your municipality pays—and that affects local budgets for roads, recreation, and other services. Rural crime response times are also on the table.
