Basically Canada's Bill C-22 (the Lawful Access Act) is proposed federal legislation introduced in March 2026 that expands police and intelligence powers, lowers evidentiary standards for accessing digital subscriber data, and requires tech and telecom companies to build surveillance and data retention capabilities.

It basically means that anyone offering online services MUST retain all user information. Including VPN's

Most VPN providers have threatened to pull out of Canada, but who would want to subscribe to the ones who stay?

Basically, what other VPN like options would a user have?

Our only hope is that it doesn't pass the Canadian Senate (which is unlikely to happen)

  1. Most people do not give a shit at all and live in ignorance. Just us fringe tech enthusiasts in the know. So global governments aren't fearing any pushback or outrage from the public.

  2. Billionaires, corporations, governments want to do this globally. It's clearly an organised push.

Nothing? Is it too late?

Yes. In my opinion. Use the internet less.
