    Hey Canada, Stop being like the US, China, and Russia. You’re better than those trash countries.

        CALEA was passed in 1994, so in this case it’s 32 years lol. It’s even worse since the eventual outcome of intentionally placing vulnerabilities into every component of your telecom infrastructure came to fruition only two years ago in 2024 with the Salt Typhoon Attack.

        It’s like the MP’s that tabled this bill are wilfully ignorant of it, which makes me suspicious.

    *Even the Americans don’t like it lol:

    Republicans Jim Jordan, chair of the U.S. judiciary committee, and Brian Mast, who oversees the foreign affairs committee, argued the Canadian bill would “drastically expand Canada’s surveillance and data-access powers in ways that create significant cross-border risks to the security and data privacy of Americans.”

    “American companies operating in Canada would face a difficult choice: compromising the security of their entire user base — including U.S. citizens — or risking exclusion from the Canadian market,” the letter said.

    “Either outcome harms U.S. national security and economic interests by undermining trust in American technology and inviting reciprocal demands from other nations.”
