@henrysporter @johndefeo @pmarca Name any industry that is NOT labour intensive. Now, look at the history of that industry and you will find it was labour intensive in the past. Cost of labour is the economic incentive innovate. Government involvement mitigates against that incentive.

@bar_doors @TristinHopper My ancestors signed contracts that meant I'm not as well off as I might have been. Do I get a do over also?

[DrRTFM @DrRTFM]

@_HelenDale I suspect very little of what we build currently, or built since WW2, will be in use in 7 centuries.

@sarkonakj Can we start calling such judges what they are: evil.

She's also taken up the practice of no longer referring to Gladue reports as such, but as "colonial impact reports." Here's another case where she attributed the act of beating one's kids to colonialism.

A CBC reporter asked me what we say to Canadians with mental illnesses who’ve been waiting for the government to give them MAID.

My answer is simple: we won’t give up on you. You deserve care and support to get you through your darkest days.

Tech companies on Bill C-22

• Shopify @Shopify CEO Tobi Lütke @tobi warned that Bill C-22 could become a “death blow to Canadian tech viability” and make Canada “essentially unviable for those with choices on where to build.”

• Signal's @signalapp VP of Strategy & Global Affairs Udbhav Tiwari stated, "In its current form, Bill C-22 would convert the everyday tools Canadians rely on into a sprawling, insecure surveillance apparatus."

• Apple @Apple Senior Director of User Privacy & Child Safety Erik Neuenschwander warned that Bill C-22 allows the Government of Canada to force companies to break encryption by inserting backdoors into their products - “something Apple will never do.”

• Google's @Google Director of Government Affairs and Public Policy Jeanette Patell warned that Bill C-22 “goes well beyond lawful access regimes in other G7 democracies, and risks creating new surveillance infrastructure that would introduce serious security vulnerabilities, undermine user trust and hinder our ability to innovate and offer pro-privacy technologies.”

• Meta @Meta warned that Bill C-22 could require companies to build or maintain capabilities that weaken encryption and that could force providers to "install government spyware directly on their systems."

• Proton VPN @ProtonVPN General Manager David Peterson warned that complying with Bill C-22 could conflict with Swiss and European privacy obligations. He said, “Complying with foreign surveillance orders without Swiss legal process is a criminal offence...We’ll defend our Canadian users and never compromise them.”

• NordVPN @NordVPN stated that “there isn’t a scenario in which we would compromise our no-logs architecture or encryption protections" and that it would consider limiting or removing its Canadian presence.

• ExpressVPN @expressvpn warned, “Legislation that mandates data retention or technical access, however well-intentioned, undermines the security that millions of users rely on."

• DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo stated that "if the bill passes, we will be forced to stop offering our VPN in Canada."

• Windscribe @windscribecom stated, “...they want to destroy the entire essence of our service to basically spy on its own citizens."

Privacy protects citizens. It also protects innovation.

Note: These statements were made before Bill C-22 was amended on June 18, 2026. In our view, those amendments did not meaningfully address concerns raised by tech companies, privacy experts, or civil liberties organizations. The companies above are free to tell Canadians whether the amendments have changed their assessment.

@Belteshazzarj @TristinHopper Good luck with that: the Alaskans are probably more right-wing than Texans and the Russians sold Alaska to America to stop the Brits from getting it in the first place.

@PMCharlesTupper @TristinHopper Falklands War 2.0 with Canada playing the role of Argentina and Macron impersonating Thatcher?

[DrRTFM @DrRTFM]

@TristinHopper Never underestimate just how passive-aggressive Canadians are.

[tobi lutke @tobi]

These bills, along with C-22 and C-9 constitute a total erosion in Canada’s basic liberties. They interlock into making Canada essentially unviable for those with choices on where to build.

@itsavryhappyday @kylegolsen @jec79 @irbrodie We should probably just stay in our caves. Going outside is just asking for some accident to happen.

@muppetmastertm2 @TristinHopper And yet they are receiving $20 million a year for it, even retroactive to the point that insiders cashed out. Let's call it what it is: another instance of Sprung, Bricklin, ....

[DrRTFM @DrRTFM]

@muppetmastertm2 @TristinHopper Sorry, but that pad is not worth even $1 million a year, let alone $20 million.

[DrRTFM @DrRTFM]

@muppetmastertm2 @TristinHopper I don't this that requires a $200 million concrete pad.

[DrRTFM @DrRTFM]

@TristinHopper So use WhatsApp. Or a VPN.

@elliereeves You're incapable of monitoring your children's behaviour? Wow, that's quite the admission to make.

Russell Crowe on Gladiator 2:

‘They failed, and they failed because they didn’t understand what made the first film so successful: it had a moral core. Here’s the thing, most people want that. On the surface, they might go for entertainment, but if they’re going to love something and keep it with them forever, like that movie? …The love for that thing is because of its moral core. All guys want to be that man who can stay that strong, and all women want a man who can love them in that way.’
