What the fuck, this can't possibly be legal under the Charter.

Messaging service Signal says minister’s changes to lawful access bill will not persuade it to stay in Canada by cal in c/canada@lemmy.ca

Practically, what would this mean for an end user? Will Signal be forced to simply pull the app from Google Play and iTunes for Canadians? I sideload the APK through Obtainium (which can source directly from signal.org) anyway. And unless the government makes it possible to go after end users directly, why would I stop? It's my device, I should be able to run whatever code on it I damn well please.

Or will Signal be required to reject Canadian messaging traffic entirely?

Even 70 km/h seems terrifying on what are essentially wide MTB tires. Hit a pot hole and you're dead.

Trump is hailing his new deal with Greenland and Denmark — but a deal already existed. So what changed? by cal in c/canada@lemmy.ca

The new agreement also prohibits foreign adversaries of the U.S., like Russia and China, from establishing bases on Greenland.

I assume the U.S. gets to unilaterally decide who their adversaries are. Will that include us soon, if it doesn't already?
