Watch out for Bill C2. It requires companies to collect data on you (Canadian citizens) and shields them from "accidentally" oversharing it.

Yes, I'm aware. I've signed a petition against it.

Could you please clarify? Is that referring to legal protection in the case of a consumer data breach? Because that'd be highly objectionable

All I can tell you is what I read on the linked page because I haven't analyzed the bill itself.

Impact on ALL Canadians:

Companies must keep records of your personal data under secret government orders, with blanket immunity for privacy violations for handing over more than they should.
