I'm going to have to disagree with you on that. In the U.S., the "expansionary" criminal procedure cases occurred in the 1960's and 70's, for example, Miranda. Those cases LIMITED the police power. In truth, there's always been periods of increasing and decreasing police power - it's a cycle. Currently those police powers are increasing, thanks to the Oklahoma City bombing and 9/11.
The expansion of government in the U.S. happened under the West's great quasi-dictator, FDR. He created all sorts of administrative agencies, which started to micromanage our lives.
In Canada, many are to blame, but Trudeau was certainly the worst.
I find that Canadians tend to be pussies, and allow their government to trample over them. When the Lieberals say "I'm going to screw you guys," Canadians say "Great! We don't need lube this time! Here, let me hold my buttcheeks open!" In contrast, Americans tend to be too much like cowboys and only think about themselves.
