Hey Canadians! This might happen to us soon as well!

If Bill S-209 passes in it's current form, you'll need to register in a govt. mandated database in Canada.

1. Find and contact your MP to oppose this here: www.ourcommons.ca/Members/en
2. SHARE THIS - cause a lot of people aren't even aware!

It's Kaleido Fest on Alberta Avenue this weekend (Fri-Sun)! 118th Ave may be closed but the shop is open! Gamers who drive will have to park in the neighbourhood. Remember, the parking behind the shop is reserved for shop staff only -- if we can't get into work, we can't help you buy the games! 😄

Because, shock horror, it's not about "protecting children!"

It's there to monitor adults and let third-party companies (*cough* big tech *couch*) have unfettered access to personal documents. Worst case, the Aus FedGov can record anything you post and tie that account to you personally

People are also still lying about them stealing income too. We established that was misinfo weeks ago. Stop parroting crap to feel big. If you actually care about creators, you would listen to us and quite literally stay woke on the issues. You fight against the paypros better by being educated.
