    Carney is basically pushing the 2015 conservative party program and everyone praises him. The “left” basically doesn’t exist anymore in Canada, you have the choice between the right and far-right. I’m so tired.

      Just give if another few years, and half the people with the same political views as you will tell you you’re equivalent to the far right unless you vote for the right! 🤗

      The only thing you can do is protect the intelligensia who can help shape smart policy for a better future whilst also exiling* the billionaires and politicians (mostly the lifetime politicians who have no discernible skills other thank taking bribes and being corrupt pieces of shit).

      *exiting or something more dramatic.

        I’m starting to think that no place is left that isn’t turning into a shit hole.

            Oh yeah, and so little spying and the privacy of their citizens is respected, I know

              You’re absolutely right, but if everyone goes authoritarian . . . they are likely to end up on top /s

              Right. Like the license plate readers, and backdoor in every operating system, and phone tracking… Wait we are talking about the US right?

                No, the topic was Canada and moving to China for less surveillance and more privacy, my confused friend. The west is regressing to where China already is and then plus some.

      Nobody in Canada wants this to pass, only the police lobby that is intrumentalized to promote this is interested.

        I am going to give you one guess on who wrote the bill and is pushing the police lobby. All LE in Canada has an existing relationship with this company.

        Is there organizing happening up there? I’ve been disappointed at the amount of my friends and neighbors here in the US who understand it, contacted their congressperson, and then hung up their hat like the job was done.

          My plan is to move away from things that can be tracked as much as possible. Dropping Android when I can no longer get GraphineOS working, moving to a dumb phone and a data hotspot with a cyberdeck the size of a phone.

          The gov won’t listen on these issues because it is a law giving them more power. No amount of protesting is going to get them to stop spying because it is all supose to be secret anyway.

          Yeah, but then we also need to rally about C-30, that re-authorizes all kind of known dangerous chemicals for the environment but also for our health, and rally against new pipelines, privatization of ports and airports, etc.

          Move fast and break (every)thing, so when people complain too loudly, it’s too late, there’s nothing left to salvage, and they’re already putting their hand on something else to divest attention from everything else they broke so far.

            We could break things back. If we truly united, our combined power could almost stop the rotation of the earth. It could certainly grind the global financial system to a halt.

      Yep. I use all of these, and it would be utter bullshit to lose access over poorly thought out lawmaking.

        I assume it’s like a lot of things happening in the US. Does America care? Americans care. The country…
