Electronic Frontier Canada has returned after a two-year hiatus. EFC’s purpose is to ensure that the principles embodied in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms remain protected as new computing, communications, and information technologies are introduced into Canadian society.

Jeffrey Shallit, EFC vice-president, cites lack of time as the main reason for EFC’s absence. The EFC web page is currently being updated, with a weblog format to be introduced shortly. The mailing lists, however, are not currently back online and are in need of an experienced maintainer. If you would like to offer assistance to the EFC, please contact them by email or by mail.
