In 2014, the British government implemented Clare’s Law, years after a young woman was killed by her partner who had a long history of abuse of which she was not aware. Several provinces now have their own versions, including Saskatchewan — the first in Canada — and Alberta. During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a rise in intimate partner violence, and an inquest into the deaths of three women in Eastern Ontario — all former partners of the same man — urged the provincial government to implement a Clare’s Law.

Radio-Canada’s French services, Poilievre has hinted, would remain largely untouched. Some experts think it would be extremely complicated to slash one side of the public broadcaster and not the other, though.

The group posted a note to its website saying it deleted all the data it stole from governments, cities, and police services. Cybersecurity experts warn that the Nova Scotia government should remain on guard, despite Clop’s apparent act of goodwill toward public institutions.
