Need a warrant to unmask Internet users? Not if Canada gets its way

http://j.mp/neHHBJ  (ars technica)

    "C-52 requires all telecommunications company to provide to law
     enforcement "any information in the service provider's possession
     or control respecting the name, address, telephone number, and
     electronic mail address of any subscriber to any of the service
     provider's telecommunications services and the Internet protocol
     address, mobile identification number, electronic serial number,
     local service provider identifier, international mobile equipment
     identity number, international mobile subscriber identity number
     and subscriber identity module card [SIM card] number that are
     associated with the subscriber's service and equipment."
     To get that information, law enforcement won't necessarily need a
     warrant."
