bringing up the eternal Indian Act debate is the easiest way to distract and divide us so kudos to that I suppose

right on cue

Claude developers Thariq Shihipar and Anthony Morris posted 2 days ago on twitter that they left Anthropic? I can't see anything verifying this, so wtf? If if was working on the most valuable product in the multiverse I dunno if I'd quit right before an IPO made me a quadrazillionaire... unless?

what is even happening

I hate linking to the hellsite but in this case... x.com/amorriscode/... x.com/trq212/statu...

I'm curious how 🇨🇦 forcing "core providers" (undefined) and "electronic service providers" (almost any business or organization) isn't a violation of UNDRIP by not only forcing Indigenous Peoples to govern their data in certain ways, but also forcing "lawful" (whose laws?) access to Indigenous data.

The general public may have forgotten about the momentum that many social movements were building prior to the pandemic, but the government surely hasn't, neither have investors. They want their investments guaranteed, and the Carney government is their backstop both financially and through force.

Surveillance isn't just about "privacy", it's about changing behavior. Making people scared to communicate, organize, trust each other... arresting people after the fact based on dodgy digital "evidence"... Stopping people from showing up due to fears of being swept up in a digital dragnet... etc.

Canada loves talking about "keeping Canadians safe"... but from who exactly? Who counts as a "threat" to "national security" in a settler colony? HMMMM I WONDER

I haven't seen any legal analysis or political talking points that address this obvious (to me, at least) structural flaw in the bill. Further, this approach of "trust us, bro" that the Carney government is taking doesn't work well when there is absolutely no trust between our governments.

For example, what would happen if the feds tried to enforce the C-22 regime on an Indigenous "core provider" or "electronic service provider" such as an ISP, business, non-profit organization, or even a First Nations government? I bet that would spark a legal fight real quick...

"Amid criticism over the lack of clarity about the scope of metadata that could be retained, the Minister of Public Safety promised on May 27, 2026, that the government would amend C-22 to clarify what metadata must be stored under the Bill. This promise never materialized."
