Please note I said "wish", not "plan". Congratulations, this conversation is now all speculative conjecture and it's legal to talk about.

I have transitioned to GrapheneOS and a Linux distro as my primary OS. Stopped my cloud services and host on my NAS with old ass drives with a lazy man's 3-2-1 backup. If I wanna do something sketchy, imma use Mullvad.

More than that... but I wanna hear from you guys!

First, this will be challenged in court. C-22 violated sections 8 of the Charter which states "Everyone has the right to be secure against unreasonable search or seizure" Forcing service providers to collect data without a warrant violates Canadians rights to privacy.

As for steps I've taken or will take:

  1. No accounts with any bigtech.
  2. The only accounts in my name are financial, drivers' license and official government.
  3. I'll be switching to SimpleX if/when Signal leaves Canada.
  4. I'll continue using a Mullvad VPN. If their servers get blocked, I'll take advantage of their "Server IP override" feature.
  5. TailsOS is also an option.

Overall, I don't plan of changing much as I've already done most of the work on my privacy journey.

Truthfully, I'm more concerned about ID verification (commonly called age verification).

Written to my MP 3 times, 2 for C-22 and 1 for both that and the verification. Do what I can do but not hopeful it does much. I tell anyone I can to also give it a shot citing how much of a pain it is if it goes through.

Good for you man! My most recent has been C-22, before that was airport privatization. I hope people start writing their MPs more, it's super easy.

A place to ask Canadians questions and get answers. The most obvious questions would be about Canada, but you can ask about pretty much anything; news, current events, society, etc

I don't intend this as an AMA format, but can entertain some. Rules:

  1. Be civil and act in good faith.
  2. No trolling.
