Canada is reasserting its position as a global pioneer in Bitcoin adoption. 🇨🇦

Featured as a key candidate in our Emerging Bitcoin Nations analysis, the country continues to build on its legacy of innovation, from launching the world's first Bitcoin ATM to pioneering the first spot Bitcoin ETF.

Political leaders, including @PierrePoilievre, @ABDanielleSmith, @KenSimCity, and @MaximeBernier, are helping keep Bitcoin at the forefront of Canada's national conversation through discussions on monetary freedom, strategic reserves, and public policy.

Find the full breakdown in our Nation-State Bitcoin Adoption Report for 2025.

The Canadian government wants your 🍆 pics! Now that I have your attention, this is true, but it's much worse than that.

Canada is about to enact a complete surveillance state with Bill C-22, and its companion pieces, Bill C-34 and Bill C-36. These 3 bills stacked together create a terrifying surveillance infrastructure.

It starts with Bill C-22, which represents an egregious overreach into the digital privacy of everyday Canadians by introducing a one-year metadata retention mandate, dangerous encryption mandates, and a significantly lower bar for law enforcement to pull and access personal ID without judicial oversight:
1. No more encrypted messages
2. Records kept on you
3. Your Data shared by other gov
4. Platforms will share your data and not tell you
Plus your data is a honeypot rife for hackers. When multiple large tech companies that track you are telling the gov this is overreach, it's serious!

Bill C-34's new powers grants this unelected Commission unchecked authority to dictate how millions of Canadians verify their age. It forces us to surrender government ID or undergo facial scans just to use social media. It gives the gov the mandate to dictate what content platforms must remove, establishes law-enforcement-style powers to compel testimony, and allows them to bypass standard legal rules of evidence and conduct hearings in total secrecy.

It also hands an unprecedented level of control over the entire Canadian internet to a single, unelected body: The Digital Safety Commission of Canada. This "super-regulator" will function combines the conflicting roles of rule-maker, investigator, judge, and public advocate into one entity. The elimination of a separate, independent Ombudsperson destroys any semblance of systemic fairness.

The insane part is that at its start, a single cabinet-appointed Chair alone can comprise the full Commission!!! One person can write the rules on age verification, order speech removed from the internet, investigate platforms, and levy multi-million dollar penalties. It's s a dictatorship over the Canadian internet.

Lastly, the social media ban for minors re Bill C-36. social media bans enforced via digital ID and age verification simply do not work. Instead of protecting youth, these mandates actively push children away from mainstream, regulated platforms and toward the darker, unmonitored corners of the internet where safety measures don't existent. Parents should be in charge of their kids, not the government and we already have tech solutions to achieve this! Let's call a spade a spade: under the guise of "protecting the kids," the true, functional intent of these provisions is to build a massive, pervasive architecture designed to surveil and track the digital lives of the adult population in Canada.

The Liberals are rushing far-reaching digital regulations without proper scrutiny, transparent debate, and meaningful public consultation. As a former public servant, this government is profoundly undemocratic.

I urge Canadians to stand up for your privacy and voice your opposition to these bills now and in the future if they pass so they can be repealed.

[Base44 @Base44]

Introducing Base44 Superagents.

AI agents built with managed infrastructure, secured by default, one-click integrations, and 24/7 execution from the start.

Everything is taken care of so you can focus on what your agent does, not how to get it running.

That means no API keys to juggle, no config files, no security setup, and no maintenance. We handle all of it.

Your Superagent connects to all the tools you already use in one click, runs on schedules and triggers, remembers context across sessions, acts proactively on your behalf, and keeps working around the clock.

All from wherever you already are, WhatsApp, Telegram, Slack, or your browser.

The AI agent everyone's been waiting for, with everything you need already built in.

We're excited to get this into your hands, so we're giving free credits to everyone who comments and reposts in the next 24 hours.
