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.^
edit for typos
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/
You know something goes too far when Google, and Meta speak out against it.
They also spoke against the denial of the volunteer Chat Control in the EU and said they will do it anyway (likely illegal).
Sure "these two trolls" are against it but so is Proton, Signal, Apple, Nordvpn, Windscribe vpn, The Canadian Chamber of Commerce, the Cybersecurity Advisors Network.
As well as Canadian technology lawyers David Fraser and Michael Geist.
The chairs of the US House Judiciary and Foreign Affairs Committees both have spoken against C-22.
Many respected privacy companies are against the bill.
you lost me with us judiciary committee. The fact that you capitalise those us terms tells me almost everything i need to know about your post.
What an awful way to view the world. Just because your enemy has a stance on something, doesn't mean its always inherently wrong.
