Fuck, they just won’t quit with this bullshit.

Is there anything regular people can do to stop this?

    The only thing you can do is protect the intelligensia who can help shape smart policy for a better future whilst also exiling* the billionaires and politicians (mostly the lifetime politicians who have no discernible skills other thank taking bribes and being corrupt pieces of shit).

    *exiting or something more dramatic.

    China. They will be the next super power and housing is cheap.

    Nobody in Canada wants this to pass, only the police lobby that is intrumentalized to promote this is interested.

    Is there organizing happening up there? I've been disappointed at the amount of my friends and neighbors here in the US who understand it, contacted their congressperson, and then hung up their hat like the job was done.

    My plan is to move away from things that can be tracked as much as possible. Dropping Android when I can no longer get GraphineOS working, moving to a dumb phone and a data hotspot with a cyberdeck the size of a phone.

    The gov won't listen on these issues because it is a law giving them more power. No amount of protesting is going to get them to stop spying because it is all supose to be secret anyway.

    Yeah, but then we also need to rally about C-30, that re-authorizes all kind of known dangerous chemicals for the environment but also for our health, and rally against new pipelines, privatization of ports and airports, etc.

    Move fast and break (every)thing, so when people complain too loudly, it's too late, there's nothing left to salvage, and they're already putting their hand on something else to divest attention from everything else they broke so far.

    Carney is basically pushing the 2015 conservative party program and everyone praises him. The "left" basically doesn't exist anymore in Canada, you have the choice between the right and far-right. I'm so tired.
