I’ve written about Bill C-4’s stealth privacy rules which largely exempt political parties from privacy law. The House acted like provisions didn’t exist. This week, a Senate committee actually studied it and came back firmly opposed with three potential approaches: kill it, split it, sunset it.

My grand theory of the appeal of trash like NFTs, crypto, "A.i.," Kalshi, Polymarket, etc.:
Our social safety net is so bad that millions of people can't see any way to ever achieve financial security or even basic health care without hitting some kind of jackpot.
So scams are very attractive!
