Hey Canada, Stop being like the US, China, and Russia. You’re better than those trash countries.
Only because we position ourselves 10 years behind US policy
CALEA was passed in 1994, so in this case it's 32 years lol. It's even worse since the eventual outcome of intentionally placing vulnerabilities into every component of your telecom infrastructure came to fruition only two years ago in 2024 with the Salt Typhoon Attack.
It's like the MP's that tabled this bill are wilfully ignorant of it, which makes me suspicious.
Liberals: Enact an unpopular policy.
People: Quit acting like MAGA, what are you republican? I bet you support communism.
I love how you think republicans are communists. It’s very “2026 average teenager.”
You compared Liberal Canada to the United States Republicans/MAGA and Chinese Communist Party, I was replying to what you had stated in your initial comment.
You can compare cancer, nuclear weapons, and Ebola at the same time. These are three things that suck, yet are different in many different ways. I am comparing Canada to three things that suck, yet are different in many different ways.
Fair, but saying “Hey Lung Cancer, quit being like a 200kT B90” doesn’t help anyone or anything, it’s just regurgitating banter that you heard elsewhere.
People collectively voted in Carney and his Liberal cabinet to “not be like the U.S, China and Russia” but yet here we are.
I’m not interested in talking to people who simp for world powers. Canada can be better than all three. Don’t try to make this part of your own very clear crusade to promote your favorite country. Byeeeeeee
You’re in a Canadian community comparing the country to the worst the world has to offer, what did you expect would happen.
I guess Websters Dictionary needs a new definition for Crusade, because from over here this looks more like a Discussion.
Yawn byeeee
Alt account.
No one responds to me within five hours. Then you start talking to me. Within five minutes of telling you to fuck off, this alt account comes to tell me I’m butt hurt. I look at the user and it’s registered within 30 days of the other user. This user only has 31 comments whereas the other one is clearly the main account. I look at several of the comments of this account and I can tell that they respond primarily to threads that involve the other user account. Clearly an alt account. Do you think I was born yesterday? What a fucking joke. I hope you don’t get paid for this.
Wild you’re willing to put the effort into this and not the initial conversation, all so that you can say you were right and I was wrong, right?
People who resort to name calling and insults instead of holding a conversation should take the advice of their mothers.
It took 20 seconds. You alt-using-propagandist.
YoU sOuNd BuTt hUrT
Sounded like it took you longer than 20 seconds, champ.
What propaganda are you referring to? I simply told you that regurgitating what others say online is pointless to progress any movement in a nation.
It’s the equivalent to saying “get good” with no rhyme or reason behind it.
Could’ve done that ~5 or so comments ago, instead of wasting time arguing opposed to discussing. Quite a delusional individual. Lmao.
Well, if we’re hosting a block party than congrats! You’ve made my list.
Goes to show it doesn’t matter what side of the fence you’re on. The insults never differ. Lmao.
There was no specific mention of MAGA, and the US has been awful for privacy well before MAGA.
