So hey Canadians... spare a thought for your clueless friends to the south! Is there a good chance C-22 fails to pass? What's the lowdown?

I've read a couple stories about the bill. But they only talk about everybody who hates it. Signal, Apple, etc. I haven't seen any analysis of the political situation. Like, if there might be enough MPs aligned against it to torpedo it.

^Err...^ ^MPs^ ^vote^ ^on^ ^it,^ ^right?^ ^Sorry.^ ^Clueless^ ^yank.^

    This started as part of C-2, a strong border bill. Specifically sections 14 and 15. It didn't get the votes and failed because of 14 and 15. It was later reintroduced as two bills, a border bill and a lawful access bill.

    C-22 is a tamer version of sections 14 and 15 in C-2. The Liberals have a majority so they may have the votes.

    Several parts of this bill violates The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and I'm hoping the courts will kill the bill.

    Thanks! I have a notion that your political system is less crazy dysfunctional than ours. So... got my fingers crossed for a good outcome.

    I found this, with transcripts of the debate. https://openparliament.ca/bills/45-1/C-22/
