Currently, the bill would require electronic service providers — companies that provide cloud services, messaging apps, social media platforms, email providers, companies that provide internet services, video game platforms, AI systems, as well as smartphones and smartwatches — to build surveillance capabilities into their systems meant to be used by law enforcement and national security agencies. The bill would also compel service providers to retain the metadata of its users for six months.

What are we meant to do? The liberals have a majority and Carney is clearly uninterested in changing what he's doing

    Prepare.

    Move your data out of the cloud and keep it out, if you have to use cloud storage encrypt your data before uploading. Switch to an email provider that doesn't have to/will not comply with surveillance laws (eg. Proton). And keep in mind that the person receiving e-mail may not be as privacy conscious as you.

    Find a VPN who does not/will not comply with surveillance laws (mullvad, airvpn, ???). Use the VPN for important stuff that your government could use against you, things like looking for a job, seeking medical advice, seeking safety from an abusive or dangerous living situation. For regular browsing just rawdog the internet like usual.

    Don't use 'social media' as an avenue for communication, Instagram and Facebook are for wasting 8 hours of your life not for sensitive conversations.
