    Hi everyone, I think it’s important for all of us to stand together on this issue. The internet is a place for everyone to gather and share ideas, and to create something positive for everyone. With this new power, the government will be able to spy and feed your life into AI systems in the future. Therefore creating a sort of “thought police” of the future. This is one step of many to control the population, don’t think this will end here. I will also warn people, if you can help it, never use your real name or share your political opinions online, because it can be weaponized against you in the future.

    Good job, looks like the decision to get rid of all other digital presence is really paying off when we need it

    Hey Canada, Stop being like the US, China, and Russia. You’re better than those trash countries.

        CALEA was passed in 1994, so in this case it’s 32 years lol. It’s even worse since the eventual outcome of intentionally placing vulnerabilities into every component of your telecom infrastructure came to fruition only two years ago in 2024 with the Salt Typhoon Attack.

        It’s like the MP’s that tabled this bill are wilfully ignorant of it, which makes me suspicious.

      Liberals: Enact an unpopular policy.

      People: Quit acting like MAGA, what are you republican? I bet you support communism.

        I love how you think republicans are communists. It’s very “2026 average teenager.”

          You compared Liberal Canada to the United States Republicans (MAGA) and Chinese Communist Party, I was replying to what you had stated in your initial comment.

            You can compare cancer, nuclear weapons, and Ebola at the same time. These are three things that suck, yet are different in many different ways. I am comparing Canada to three things that suck, yet are different in many different ways.

              Fair, but saying “Hey Lung Cancer, quit being like a 200kT B90” doesn’t help anyone or anything, it’s just regurgitating banter that you heard elsewhere.

              People collectively voted in Carney and his Liberal cabinet to “not be like the U.S, China and Russia” but yet here we are.

                I’m not interested in talking to people who simp for world powers. Canada can be better than all three. Don’t try to make this part of your own very clear crusade to promote your favorite country. Byeeeeeee

                  You’re in a Canadian community comparing the country to the worst the world has to offer, what did you expect would happen.

                  I guess Websters Dictionary needs a new definition for Crusade, because from over here this looks more like a Discussion.

    *Even the Americans don’t like it lol:

    Republicans Jim Jordan, chair of the U.S. judiciary committee, and Brian Mast, who oversees the foreign affairs committee, argued the Canadian bill would “drastically expand Canada’s surveillance and data-access powers in ways that create significant cross-border risks to the security and data privacy of Americans.”

    “American companies operating in Canada would face a difficult choice: compromising the security of their entire user base — including U.S. citizens — or risking exclusion from the Canadian market,” the letter said.

    “Either outcome harms U.S. national security and economic interests by undermining trust in American technology and inviting reciprocal demands from other nations.”
