@MarkJCarney So who’s going to pay for all of this? Cost of hydro always goes up, never down. Eventually charging your. We will cost more than gassing it up
DAMN IT! For Years We Thought Today Was A Canadian Holiday
May 24!
Victoria Day!
Beginning of Summer!
All those years we were wrong: its Actually Tamil Genocide Remembrance Day
Put down the beers
Get off the patio
Stop fishing
Stop Camping
It's a solemn day of Remembrance
‼️ BREAKING
Liberals are building a surveillance system that the US, Germany & EU have all explicitly rejected.
The two countries that have this:
CHINA & RUSSIA
Carney wants surveillance on every Canadian.
Not just suspects.
Every call. Every text. Every location ping.
Who you called. When. How long. Where you were.
NO SUSPICION OR INVESTIGATION REQUIRED.
Reconstructed into a complete map of your movements.
No other Western democracy has powers this broad.
The EU Court of Justice struck down an identical law as unconstitutional in 2014.
Germany abandoned blanket retention entirely.
Signal said they’d leave Canada rather than comply.
Meta called it conscripting companies into “the government’s surveillance apparatus.”
US Congress members wrote directly to Ottawa warning it compromises American citizens.
Canada’s own Privacy Commissioner has zero oversight role in this bill.
The EU was right to strike this down.
It’s a violation of human rights.
Signal, the non-profit, encrypted-messaging app, just warned, it would rather leave Canada than comply with Bill C-22.
Here’s what Bill C-22 actually does:
✅ Forces tech companies to build surveillance backdoors into their systems
✅ Mandates that every cell phone in Canada be trackable
✅ Allows the Minister of Public Safety to issue SECRET orders to turn your Amazon Alexa into a listening device
✅ Requires metadata retention for up to one year: who you called, when, and where you were
No comparable Western nation has adopted surveillance powers this broad.
Meta called it conscripting private companies into “the government’s surveillance apparatus.”
The US wrote directly to the minister warning it compromises American citizens’ privacy.
A lawyer told committee: “As written, the minister could issue a secret order to turn your smart TV into a listening device.”
Imagine: this is the same government that froze bank accounts without a court order.
The same government that turned off committee cameras.
The same government with 638 unresolved wrongdoing complaints.
Now wants inside your phone.
