So what happens if Canadian Bill C22 [lawful access] passes as is?

Will you follow Signal's and Windscribe's plans to withdraw from the Canadian market?
I would fully understand if you followed their leadership.

See:
https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/windscribe-joins-signal-in-threatening-canada-exit-over-controversial-surveillance-bill

Some of us are putting in great efforts to kill bill C22 but the PM has a majority.

Is there any legal way to work around a possible vpn block?

From 2026-5-1, a perspective that spooks all ofthe the world seem to love the concept of 'lawful access'.

"From 'encryption backdoor' to 'lawful access' - is a compromise between privacy, security, and law enforcement needs actually possible?"
[Not in my opinion]
https://www.techradar.com/vpn/vpn-privacy-security/from-encryption-backdoor-to-lawful-access-is-a-compromise-between-privacy-security-and-law-enforcement-needs-actually-possible

Quote: "When privacy advocates thought they had won the Crypto Wars in the 1990s, they probably wouldn't have guessed they'd still be discussing whether decrypting private data is a bad or good idea 30 years later. But since at least 2020, a stream of governments have been trying to create a backdoor to encryption under the new name of 'lawful access'."

IMO 30 years from now it will still be around but it might have a different slogan.

"The Backdoor Rebrand: 'Lawful Access' Is Still a Threat to Encryption
It's Deja Vu All Over Again!"
https://jirif.substack.com/p/the-backdoor-rebrand-lawful-access

Quote: "There's no such thing as a backdoor only law enforcement can use.
Once you create a privileged access pathway, you've created an attack vector.
And if governments can get in, so can others - eventually and inevitably."

Quote: "The “Balanced Solutions” Pipe Dream
Let's be really clear about this:

- You cannot have strong encryption with selective access.
- You cannot protect fundamental rights by compromising the technology that enforces them.
- You cannot call it privacy if someone else holds a key.

The idea of a 'balanced' or 'lawful' backdoor is as illogical as a fireproof matchstick."

Maybe ask @OpenMediaOrg if they would repost some old article from 2012.

If by some miracle Bill C22 is stopped then it will resurface some time in the future.
The struggle to preserve Charter rights and freedoms will never end.

The spooks and the cops just won't give up on this issue.
IMO Since 2012 Canada has not become a lawless and unsafe country due to a lack of snooping.

Here is a great post from 2012 by Michael Geist about [what they call] lawful access.
With respect to Bill C22: We have been here before and the pathetic arguments from 2012 and 2026 are similar.

Maybe ask @OpenMediaOrg if they would repost some old article from 2012.

If by some miracle Bill C22 is stopped then it will resurface some time in the future.
The struggle to preserve Charter rights and freedoms will never end.

The spooks and the cops just won't give up on this issue.
IMO Since 2012 Canada has not become a lawless and unsafe country due to a lack of snooping.

From 2026-5-10 an article written by someone from the Canadain Press

"Bill to help authorities probe online activities raises widespread privacy fears"
https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/article/bill-to-help-authorities-probe-online-activities-raises-widespread-privacy-fears/

Quote: "A Liberal government bill [C22] that would make it easier for police and spies to navigate the online world is running into fierce opposition from major digital companies, civil liberties groups and law professors who say it would open the door to serious privacy infringements."

IMO the article does not stress how invasive and dangerous C22 could be.

"How Much Further Will Lawful Access Go?: Police Chief Tells Bill C-22 Hearing That Three Years of Metadata Retention Would Be 'Ideal'"
https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/c22metadata/

Quote: "Some tend to claim that criticism of lawful access veers into conspiracy theories about government surveillance.
Yet no one is trying to hide anything here: the government says lawful access is a first step and that it is prepared to go further, while the police state on the record at committee that years of metadata retention would be ideal.
If the government follows through, Canada would have the most extensive (and most expensive) mandated metadata retention regime in the world."

IMO retaining all of that data for that long a period is going to cost companies a fortune and the costs will be passed to the customers.

"How Much Further Will Lawful Access Go?: Police Chief Tells Bill C-22 Hearing That Three Years of Metadata Retention Would Be 'Ideal'"
https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/c22metadata/

Quote: "... Sahota acknowledged that police would likely support an even broader scope, describing C-22 as a first step.
Sahota said the government needed to get the bill passed to take further steps and added that she was open to going further."

Quote: "Asked whether one year was the appropriate retention period, Darcy Fleury, Chief of Police in Thunder Bay, told MPs:
'I think 12 months is a good start but obviously, yes, you're right, if the investigations are prolonged, and they can be very long in some of these cases, then retention beyond the 12 months - 24 months, 36 months, would be ideal.'"

An opinion piece from a right-wing publication [National Post]
Talking about testimony from 2026-5-7.
MSM has been mostly avoiding this issue, perhaps they do not really understand the topic.

I generally try to avoid any opinion from the NP - just posting this toot to suggest that the right-wingers don't seem to like C22 either.

This DW documentary shows what could happen if #BillC22 is passed and people with nefarious intent get access to the data.

https://youtube.com/watch?v=Y07j3hXAI-g

The location data in the documentary was collected via social media apps.
Had people not enabled location data or else not used those apps then their data would not have been captured and sold.

Some of the people in the doc were trying to hide from stalkers/spies in countries they fled.

Currently it should be possible to turn off location data on your phone or not use any app that uses location data.

With C22 the spooks would be able to capture your location data even if you use a flip phone.

BillC22 and a data breach is all it would take for your privacy to be threatened since the location data would be gathered by the telcom and there is nothing you could set on your phone to stop the collection.

Scary stuff folks.
People could be stalked/threatened/hurt
