The bill is in real trouble when even Google, a company that built its empire on knowing everything about you, thinks a government's surveillance plan goes too far.
You know something goes too far when Google, and Meta speak out against it.
So hey Canadians… spare a thought for your clueless friends to the south! Is there a good chance C-22 fails to pass? What’s the lowdown?
I’ve read a couple stories about the bill. But they only talk about everybody who hates it. Signal, Apple, etc. I haven’t seen any analysis of the political situation. Like, if enough there might be enough MPs aligned against it to torpedo it.
This started as part of C-2, a strong border bill. Specifically sections 14 and 15. It didn’t get the votes and failed because of 14 and 15. It was later reintroduced as two bills, a border bill and a lawful access bill.
C-22 is a tamer version of sections 14 and 15 in C-2. The Liberals have a majority so they may have the votes.
Several parts of this bill violates The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and I’m hoping the courts will kill the bill.

Err… MPs vote on it, right? Sorry. Clueless yank.

Thanks! I have a notion that your political system is less crazy dysfunctional than ours. So… got my fingers crossed for a good outcome.
