Can you not at least wait a couple of years to see how the ongoing disaster in the UK unfolds? Will their age checkpoints become a mild nuisance that is routinely bypassed by everyone other than the most horny and gullible? Or will they reinvent the Great Firewall as they attempt to block websites, ban VPNs, and shut down whatever convenient means to evade the checkpoints becomes popular next.

But no, the biometric data ghouls are keen to lead Canada down that same road, regardless of where it leads. Our politicians are helpless to resist the finely crafted illusions of their lobbyists, which have been gradually perfected as they infiltrate one country after another. Will there be a free world left, when it's over? I wonder which language I should start learning.

No. They know it's terrible. That's why they have to push it through now.

They need to further the surveillance state.

Discord just recently had data breaches of thousands of ids in the UK, the British government is now looking to ban vpns. It’s bad policy plain as day.

I hope Canada is smart enough to realize how the bulk of knowledge work in their own government is done. Hint: things are gonna suck soon.
