From the Cambridge Analytica scandal to overloaded internet voting servers to faulty voting machines, the growing relationship between democracy and technology has brought to light the challenges associated with integrating new digital tools into the electoral system. Canadian politics has also felt the impact of this migration online.This timely book presents the first comprehensive study of the various cyber-threats to election integrity across Canadian jurisdictions. Scrutinizing the events of the 2019 federal election, Cyber-Threats to Canadian Democracy examines how new technologies have affected the practice of electoral politics and what we can do to strengthen future Canadian elections. Through the disciplines of political science, law, computer science, engineering, communications, and others, chapters shed light on some of the most contentious issues around technology and electoral integrity. The contributors address current domestic and foreign threats to Canadian elections, evaluate the behaviour of actors ranging from political parties and interest groups to policymakers and election administrators, and assess emerging legal and regulatory responses while anticipating future challenges to the quality of elections in Canada and around the globe.Cyber-Threats to Canadian Democracy helps seed the study of digital technology's security risks, providing insight into what reforms are needed and evaluating existing legal and policy frameworks in light of these threats.

Rewriting the Canadian Constitution imagines how Canada’s Constitution could be rethought and reshaped through amendment. Assuming that broad constitutional change is possible, this volume brings together leading scholars from law, political science, and philosophy to examine four key areas of reform: the federal-provincial division of powers, democratic institutions, the unwritten constitution, and the rules of amendment themselves. The resulting contributions are rigorous, creative, and critical. They develop innovative models of shared jurisdiction, propose ways to strengthen democratic accountability, assess deficits in representation and participation – particularly for Indigenous peoples, evaluate reforms of existing procedures, and much more. Taken together, the collection advances a form of constitutional possibilism: a commitment to imagining what Canada’s Constitution could become. Reflecting a diverse set of methodological, theoretical, and disciplinary perspectives, the essays highlight gaps and tensions in Canada’s current constitutional framework while offering concrete, hopeful visions for reform. Rewriting the Canadian Constitution will engage students, scholars, lawyers, judges, advocates, and policymakers alike. It is essential reading for anyone interested in the past, present, or future of the Canadian Constitution.
