Told all 50 employees today things are going to change.
Heard someone came to work and may have had some alcohol in their system.

So I told them that everyone now has to allow me full access to their personal devices all the time and I must be able to login to them and go through all their personal stuff to make sure no one is using any drugs or alcohol at work.
I told them if I can’t snoop through all their stuff I will let other people do it for me, literally anyone can access all their personal stuff on their electronics, phone or laptop.
It was not up for discussion, policy would be changed by midnight.

They said “why don’t you just breathalyzer or drug test us instead?”
I said I was doing this for their protection and not mine and that I want them to backup their phones daily on their hard drives and keep it for a year just in case I need to go through it later.

They called me a fucking psychopath and they all quit, not before pissing all over the door handle of my car.

Does this sound a little extreme? Well this scenario is exactly what Mark Carney and the Liberals have pushed through with Bill C-22.
Anyone of “authority” gains access to your devices if you live in Canada.

Canada is a fucking surveillance state.

[Connie Fournier @freedominion]

@LetABDecide @FieldDSmj Tell them about Bill C-22. Leaving is a no-brainer now.

[Connie Fournier @freedominion]

Time to leave, Albertan friends!

[Bruce McGonigal @bruce_mcgonigal]

Bill C-22 treats every Canadian as if they committed a crime. Guilty, with no chance to prove your innocence.

You now have no right to privacy in Canada and are tracked 24/7 in real time. While the government gets to hide what it's doing, behind closed doors.

When does that ever work out well for citizens? It never has.

Voters gave Mark Carney a minority government.

He used back room deals to convince MPs to cross the floor within one year of the election and is using that manufactured majority to destroy our freedom.

Liberal voters are some of the least remarkable people in Canada, with diminishing IQ capacity.

Mental illness seems to be an underlying symptom of 21st Century Liberalism.

If you are Albertan, vote to leave this crap hole.

🚨🚨⚠️ CANADA: BILL C‑22 IS AN 11‑ALARM FIRE ⚠️🚨🚨

If you live in Canada and you’re using “the cloud” for email, documents, messaging back‑ups, or anything sensitive, you need to understand what’s happening right now with Bill C‑22 (“Lawful Access Act”).

This isn’t tech paranoia. It’s a structural change to how easy it is for the state to get identifying data and metadata about you from the services you rely on. Once that scaffolding is built and normalized, it’s almost impossible to dismantle.

What C‑22 does in plain language

It expands “lawful access” tools so police and intelligence can get subscriber information and other identifying data from telecoms and online service providers more easily.

Subscriber information isn’t just your name: it includes account identifiers, contact details, service periods, and device‑related info – more than enough to link accounts, IPs and devices back to you and to map who talks to whom.

It creates a framework for the government to order core providers and “electronic service providers” to collect and retain metadata on everyone for up to a year.

It allows secret orders and gag clauses so providers can be forced to cooperate while being legally barred from telling you.

Translation: if your email, files, chats, or projects live entirely in other people’s infrastructure, those systems can be turned into quiet mapping tools for your relationships, your habits, your reading lists, your political work, and your sources.

This hits whistleblowers, journalists, activists, psychiatric survivors, and anyone in vulnerable situations first. They’re the ones who rely on “private” DMs, proton‑style accounts, self‑hosted services behind the cloud, and ad‑hoc leak channels. If the metadata around those channels is being retained and is easy to compel, anonymity evaporates.

You do not need to be doing anything illegal to get burned. The risk is in how easy it becomes to:

reconstruct who contacted a tips line or advocacy group;

trace who suddenly started emailing or uploading documents around a scandal;

link pseudonymous accounts back to real‑world identities via devices, IPs and patterns;

map entire networks of people based purely on who interacts with whom and when.

PSA: STOP BEING A SITTING DUCK

If you haven’t already, treat tonight as the line in the sand.

Get critical email out of generic cloud accounts. If all of your sensitive mail lives in a single mainstream provider account tied to your real name and phone, that’s your weakest link.

Pull your sensitive files off “free” clouds. Anything that would harm you or others if it were deanonymized (whistleblowing material, mental‑health records, political strategy, legal fights) should not sit indefinitely on someone else’s servers under their log and retention regime.

Assume metadata will be kept. Even if content is encrypted, logs can show which accounts connected, when, from where, and in what patterns. Act accordingly.

Segment your life. Don’t run your entire political, professional, and personal existence through one identity, one mailbox, one cloud drive. Compartmentalization is not tinfoil; it’s basic safety.

This is not about “go off‑grid tomorrow.” It’s about refusing to be a passive, undefended target while the rules are being rewritten around you. There is still time to move, but not if you treat C‑22 as just another bill.

🚨🚨 Call to action 🚨🚨

Move your high‑risk email and files off generic cloud platforms tonight.

Tell your friends, coworkers, and comrades in Canada that Bill C‑22 is an 11‑alarm fire for privacy and accountability.

Email your MP and opposition MP's and tell them to oppose C‑22’s metadata‑retention and lawful‑access framework.

This isn’t about perfection. It’s about refusing to leave every part of your life sitting on someone else’s hard drive, waiting to be queried. Bill C‑22 is trying to turn “the cloud” into a surveillance‑ready archive. Don’t be a sitting duck.

#AlbertaIndependence is the only way out.

[Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Tablesalt13]

Just so EVERYONE in Canada fully understands this

Under c-22, cell phone service providers are now required to track the location of your phone

for six months, and store it

in case the government or the police ever want it.

The more you know.

[Pascal Anglehart @DemosKratosCA]

Just to be clear, as so many retarded Canadians don't seem to understand: I don't care if 13 year olds can't access social media.
I care that we adults will have to identify ourselves and have our activity tracked by a totalitarian government.
Fuck sake, Canadians are stupid.

[Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 @ezralevant]

Please don't lie on Twitter.

Your scheme forces adults to provide ID to get on social media to prove they're not children.

You're using kids as an excuse to track adults.

And we remember you supported seizing bank accounts during the trucker convoy: https://t.co/LfiXiR6hlt

[Rise Of Alberta @RiseOfAlberta]

The problem is not one bad prime minister.

The problem is a system where Alberta can be outvoted forever by people who do not live here, do not share our values, and do not depend on the industries they regulate.

That is why independence matters.

[Connie Fournier @freedominion]

@JohnMar41690080 @irbrodie Okay.

Canada's New Social Media Ban is NOT About Your Children | Here's What They're NOT Telling You

Canada just announced the Digital Safety Act — a social media ban for anyone under 16.

Most Canadians think this is about protecting children. It isn't.

To enforce a social media ban, every single Canadian will have to prove their age by attaching government-approved ID to their social media accounts. That's not child protection. That's a digital ID.

And once you're verified on one platform, that verification follows you everywhere — linking every account you own under your real identity.

But it gets worse.

This isn't a standalone policy. This is the missing piece that connects Bill C-9, C-22 and C-8 into a complete surveillance and censorship system.

Bill C-9 defines what you can and cannot say online. Bill C-22 forces platforms to save your data for up to one year. Bill C-8 gives the government the power to cut you off the internet entirely.

The digital ID created by this social media ban is what connects all three.

And they're selling it to you as child protection.

Don't be fooled. All these bills are interconnected — and this is the last piece of the puzzle.

[Ezra Levant 🍁🚛 @ezralevant]

That's the thing about making kids under 16 prove their age.

It's a back-door way to make everyone over 16 provide their ID, too.

Canada's authoritarian government wants to track everything everyone does online.

They're just pretending it's about kids.

[Connie Fournier @freedominion]

@david_parker They did in BC .

[Michael Thomlinson @miket136]

@Bratt_world Because it has nothing to do with minors - it’s a Trojan horse to require every user to provide government ID to access social media; that’s the only way to police an age limit.

It’s not a child protection issue, it’s a privacy issue. No more anonymity.

[Connie Fournier @freedominion]

@JasonLavigneAB @Bob_Loblaw1970 Absolutely!

[Connie Fournier @freedominion]

@cfhoogz What? You think it's normal to "count" for weeks after an election until results are reversed?
