  • The Liberals are determined to turn Canada into a surveillance state and share data with other “eyes” countries including the USA. This government is not looking to protect Canadians. And they haven’t taken the objections on board, as evidenced by their statements that they need to “define” encryption, and that “the new amendments will aim to align the bill’s encryption provisions with US counterparts.” How can you look at all the history of the USA spying on its own citizens and think “Yep, Canada should copy that”? Not a government that’s serving Canadians.

























  • Retailers have criticised the UK’s product safety policy, which relies on manufacturers and importers to ensure that products are safe. Post-Brexit health and safety laws have removed powers to ban products thought to pose a health hazard without waiting for scientific evidence. Instead, the onus is on exporters, importers and retailers to test goods and inform regulators if asbestos is found.

    Another Brexit benefit. Of course the people profiting from selling these things will do the responsible thing, spending money to test them for safety and choosing not to profit from them if they don’t pass tests. That’s how it always works.
