The biggest take away from Trumpβs latest hissy fit is that Bill C2/C12 were tabled under the guise of trade negotiations and there is no reason in the world now to pass them. This is just an authoritarian power grab from Carney, one we wonβt recover from.

Doug Ford blows up 9 months of trade negotiations. There is absolutely no need now for Bill C2 or C12 because @mark-carney.bsky.social tabled them to appease. And no one should be supporting those authoritarian bill. #cdnpoli

Canada Do Not Become like Amer1c@:
Bill C-2 & Bill C-12 would allow the Canadian government & law, for U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE) to access Canadians' personal info, including data from social media, with low threshold of suspicion & potentially w/o a warrant in some cases.

Pressure from the U.S : Some sources suggest that these legislative packages were introduced, in part, to align Canadian practices with U.S. demands regarding border security and data sharing, particularly during trade negotiations or to appease U.S. administrations.

Lack of Transparency: Critics point out that many details of how these new powers will be implemented are left to be defined by future regulations, rather than being explicitly written into the legislation, which raises concerns about a lack of parliamentary scrutiny and transparency.

extreme lack of Due Process: Allows the government to cancel immigration documents or applications for entire groups of people based on a broad, without individualized assessment or a proper right to appeal. This broad, unchecked executive power is a central problem similar to Patriot Act.

Bill C-2 would allow law enforcement & intel agencies (CSIS) to access basic personal info from telecommunication companies without a warrant & can obtain data like browsing history ("reasonable suspicion" instead of "reasonable belief"). Similar to the Patriot Act in U.S.

Numerous civil liberties privacy organizations in Canada have drawn parallels between certain provisions in Bills C-2 and C-12 and the U.S. Patriot Act, arguing that they grant sweeping powers to the government and law enforcement while eroding civil liberties and due process.

Listen to the video. This is what people have to do to get through algorithmic censorship.
With Meta, X, Tik Tok - we know only what they let us know. And AI has made their "thought police" capable of even reading that.
Maybe we'll have to bring back pig Latin or cursive to outwit AI censorship.

What We Can Learn From Superman Defeating the KKK
My book Lessons in Magic and Disaster has been out for a week now, and Iβve been so thrilled with the response so far. Bookseller Rowan Julian with The Novel...
Back in 1946, the KKK was trying to make a major comeback after World War II.
Enter Superman β the Man of Steel exposed their secrets and took them down in his radio show.
I asked Rick Bowers, author of Superman vs the Ku Klux Klan, what we can learn from this today
