Signal has long said it'd "rather shut down or leave a market" than add a backdoor or weaken its encryption.

Apple also had this option when it was ordered by the UK government to build an iCloud backdoor. Apple could have said — without violating secrecy laws — why it was leaving the UK, rather than weaken the security of all of its UK customers.

Instead, Apple capitulated to the demand to keep operating, and prioritized its profits over its customers' security.

Passenger rail is ridiculously unreliable in Canada. 50% of trains are delayed. And every small delay leads to a big one because freight trains get priority on the railway lines.

Glad to see the NDP's Rail Passenger Priority Act getting attention.

Having a predictable and reliable timetable is the first step to making this a viable form of transportation in Canada.
