        I say this the the utmost contempt, so please read this in an aggressive and yelling voice:

        WHY THE FUCK IS THE GOD DAMNED FUCKING BOOMER PUSHING FOR KAWS SHE DOESNT UNDERSTAND.

        WHAT BOILED CAULIFLOWER EATING FUCKING MORONS DID THEY SURVEY FOR THIS.

        Can we get some god damned informed people on government already? Jesus.

              1. Now yar talking 2 different things. If you want informed folks making appropriate decisions informed folks need to be empowered to do so. Politicians precisely do not, since their praxis is to empower themselves above all information and reason. A direct democracy allows the informed access to act on informed actions. While a politician doesn’t have to recall what they voted last bill.

              2. If you want more informed folks, that are capable counters & somewhat better technological literacy, you also need to directly mentor. More mentorships, less schooling. Direct democracy needs both to work.

              3. I pray you Canadians get your acts straighter than NaziSians. Fuck🖕oppressors.

        I just spent over an hour writing my email, it’s not done yet. Please also write one.

        Just imagine the foreign interference opportunities of a foreign company+government having a list of every Canadian politician or businessperson on grindr or looking at gay porn as a really trivial example.

        This is the hill to metaphorically/politically die on.

        As written this bill is awful. It literally says to follow “best practices”, which in 2026 clearly means storing data unsecured since basically every one of these companies has leaked.
