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

Is there anything regular people can do to stop this?

[–] Insekticus@aussie.zone 6 points 3 weeks ago

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.

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.

Theres petitions and such going around and people are vocal about it, but no rallying up for it yet.

[–] matlag@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

[–] njordomir@lemmy.world 3 points 3 weeks ago

We could break things back. If we truly united, our combined power could almost stop the rotation of the earth. It could certainly grind the global financial system to a halt.

I am going to give you one guess on who wrote the bill and is pushing the police lobby. All LE in Canada has an existing relationship with this company.

[–] UpAndAtThem@lemmy.world 31 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yep. I use all of these, and it would be utter bullshit to lose access over poorly thought out lawmaking.

[–] neclimdul@lemmy.world 14 points 3 weeks ago

I assume it's like a lot of things happening in the US. Does America care? Americans care. The country....

[–] Yerbouti@sh.itjust.works 29 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

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.

Just give it another few years, and half the people with the same political views as you will tell you you're equivalent to the far right unless you vote for the right! 🤗

Gonna need a VPN to connect to your VPN.

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_BOOBIES@lemmy.world 17 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

What you're looking for is a VPS provider.

[–] nullspace@lemmy.world 11 points 3 weeks ago

Meant it as a joke, but this is still helpful information.

[–] pineapplelover@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 3 weeks ago

Kinda like TOR

[–] ClockworkOtter@lemmy.world 10 points 3 weeks ago

I use two of those in the UK as well. Would prefer not to also lose them
