@jonsnow sucks. fwiw, downunder here, our strayan govt did this to us in ~2015, except retention for two years, which is when i stopped equivocating & began using a commercial #vpn, always, plus hardened my browsers. it was brought in by a conservative rightwing govt, but with the enthusiastic support of the supposedly leftwing opposition party. buncha fuckheads all. good luck canada!

@heliomass I don't claim any great expertise on #ukpol, but isn't the most likely outcome that Reform and the Conservatives split the right-wing vote, and Labour continue to form government?

(I may be viewing this too much through the prism of 1990s #CanPol.)

@www.youtube.com.channel.ucs1xwrtmeasnhyphgjjtbfw I could quibble with parts of the video, but overall it's a good diagnosis of the problems. I'm not sure the prescription is adequate, but on the other hand, the Liberals have largely adopted it, so it's not obvious what a better alternative would be.

(And here MMT believers have a response... Sure, just print more money, that will definitely solve all our economic problems.)

Ce visage, c'est Carney qui essaie la nouvelle application du Service canadien du renseignement de sécurité (SCRS/CSIS). Elle détecte et prévient les activités (pourtant légales) des activistes opposés à l'expansion des data centers, des gazoducs et de la surveillance étatique. Les communications des collectifs et des particuliers sont massivement traitées par l'IA grâce aux projets de loi C-22 et C-8.

“Regulators recognize that Canadians are already partaking in this trading (via virtual private networks that hide their location), and that there is a large appetite. So, they wanted to offer a regulated way for them to participate.”

Et surtout à cause de la remontée du NPD 😏 (as if this governement gives a fuck about "public feedback").

Government of Canada announces immediate support to strengthen Canadian culture and ensure Canadian content...

Federal investments of $600 million will provide stability and immediate support to Canada’s audio and audiovisual sectors and keep Canadian culture accessible and affordable for all

Government of Canada

Sean Speer: "This is such a cynicism-inducing announcement from the Trudeau/Carney government. For years, the Liberals dogmatically pursued the Online Streaming Act despite overwhelming evidence that it would drive up prices and undermine choice for consumers and distort market access for Canadian creators. Then as the CRTC goes about implementing the government's (predictably) bad law, the minister intervenes on affordability grounds" | nitter
