Feds urging Canadians to use VPNs while introducing Bill C-22 which makes VPNs functionally illegal
Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act introduced in March, would compel electronic service providers to build surveillance capabilities into their systems and retain user metadata for up to a year.
Would grant the public safety minister the power to issue secret orders requiring specific providers to develop technical capabilities for law enforcement and would prohibit those providers from even disclosing that the order exists.

Every program employs a "back door" somewhere for the creator of the program to code the program. Bill C-22 wants to hang a welcome sign on the door available for law enforcement and any nefarious actor.

Any Albertans on here care to add their 2bits about just WTF is going on re separation?
And as a side bar, as an ex Albertan, I was a card carrying member of the Free the West thing in the 80's when Trudeau Sr tried to fuck Alberta out of its resources. After I had moved to Vancouver too, that anger lingered. So I get part of the issue but there has to be more than just alt right BS.

Data from the 2024/25 fiscal year shows 59 per cent of First Nations in Canada are not meeting the requirements of the First Nations Financial Transparency Act, and non-compliance has increased substantially from almost zero (near complete compliance) in 2014/15, when Ottawa stopped enforcing violations.
The absence of enforcement of the act means there are virtually no financial consequences if leaders within First Nations governments do not complete the required financial audits.
Crucially, the amount of monies provided to First Nations by Ottawa is not insubstantial. In 2024/25, for instance, Ottawa spent over $32 billion for Indigenous groups across the country.

Annual planned spending for Indigenous Services Canada (ISC) is $24.09 billion for the 2026–27 fiscal year. When combined with Crown-Indigenous Relations and Northern Affairs Canada (CIRNAC), annual federal spending on Indigenous priorities has reached roughly $63 billion.
Sixty-three billion Canadians dollars every year. Coincidentally, National defence spending in Canada also valued at $63 billion in '25/'26 budget.
