The more I think about it, the more troubling #BillC2 is. The warrantless demand for "subscriber information" can include a demand to a women's shelter, abortion clinic or psychiatrist. All provide services to the public and info about services rendered really goes to the biographical core.

Canadians clutching their pearls about ICE barely know the Liberals are pushing through a bill right now giving the gov the ability to check your mail, get your IP and internet history, and makes immigration and asylum seeking way more difficult

Wild to consider the difference in coverage this would likely be getting if a Canadian was dragged off by say, Belarusian authorities, for leading a peaceful march to save, for example, Ukrainian civilians from a war crime at the hands of Russia. So fucked up.

people who are surprised at the things an llm generates, when it gets a bit dark, edgy, or "aware" have only experienced the milquetoast internet bunch of fucking virgins

#BillC2, the so-called Strong Borders bill is a Trojan horse that contains a new law that allows the gov’t to order backdoors in the communications infrastructure you use every day. This is the part of the "border bill" you haven't heard enough about. youtu.be/E1LV2fcD9Bs

"Capital flight" is a myth manufactured by the billionaires and millionaires who don't want their taxes to go up, plain and simple. Tax the rich. Estates, assets, evasion, income - all of it. Leave no stone unturned, for they are the cockroaches of the planet.

The moral bankruptcy of the Government of Canada on public display.

The government claims its warrantless “information demand” power in Bill C-2 involves little more than harmless phone book data. My post on why this is incredibly misleading as the data raises major privacy risks including tracking users and their location. www.michaelgeist.ca/2025/06/more...

bill c2 is incredibly broad sweeping powers: it attacks: - all canadians' online privacy & privacy wrt to mail - immigrants, it gives arbitrary powers, without oversight to the immigration minister - and more www.parl.ca/DocumentView... very disappointing: @mark-carney.bsky.social
