How very China & Russia of them

When the empire dissolves we're going to have to root these freaks out, one by one, regionally, until the whole continent is de-nazified. We're going to be tearing down barbed wire and jails for the rest of my life.

This is how I know the article wasn't written by a journalist.
Storing data in Canada won't make it any safer if Bill C-22 (formerly part of C-2) passes and leads to a data-sharing agreement with the United States.
I found it amazing that Carney once said that Canada needs a civilianized defense force for armed insurgency if the US decides to invade. Meanwhile he is also trying to pass laws like Bill C-22 (as you mentioned, formerly part of bill C-2) and maintaining previous 'anti-terrorism' legislation that allowed tons of data sharing with even regular US police on all Canadians. On top of that with massive, highly expensive and ineffectual gun bans that have cost billions and barely any firearms surrendered. (and I need to mention that the information sharing with the US includes all Canadians with PAL or RPALs. They might not have an inventory of what firearms are registered with them, but if the US does invade, the FIRST thing they will do is seek out anyone with a license as a potential firearms owner).
It is almost like he just wants to talk about resisting the US while carrying on it like it is shortly after 9/11 when Canada and the US were fully united in wanting to thwart 'terrorism' by dismantling civil rights at dizzying rates.
