This is your Access and Privacy News Summary for Saturday, June 6th. 

This week, we begin in Alberta, where new FIPA-Ipsos polling shows strong public support for enforceable privacy rules after the exposure of voter information for 2.9 million Albertans. 

We’ll also look at Alberta’s new combined ID cards, the federal lawful access bill, connected vehicle data, and several access-to-information stories that show how public records continue to shape accountability across the country. 

And before we go, we’ll turn to whistleblowing—from B.C.’s first securities whistleblower award to an Ontario court ruling on undercover investigations.
