        That’s the funny hing about normies and their little “i took a stand”, if they are doing this in the US, your dumb ass in next.

        With that being said, I don’t think people should be risking coming to the US but that’s not a solution, they are still coming for you in your own country.

        This class war seems to have gone global.

          All I can tell you is what I read on the linked page because I haven’t analyzed the bill itself.

          Impact on ALL Canadians:

          Companies must keep records of your personal data under secret government orders, with blanket immunity for privacy violations for handing over more than they should.

    Facial recognition apps are notoriously inaccurate when it comes to minority faces, but I suppose they think that’s a benefit :(

      It just means they get to disappear more minorities.
