"You are a transformative president" -- I regret to inform you that Mark Carney is kissing Trump's ass

The Liberals' Strong Borders Act (Bill C-2) is "batshit crazy," says @supriya.bsky.social.

What do you think? Are the privacy tradeoffs worth it if Mark Carney strikes a trade deal with Donald Trump?

A few months ago, I approached CBC News with a pitch about crypto ATMs, which are a preferred way for fraudsters to extract money from victims. Canada has the most crypto kiosks per capita, but it lags on regulation.

The right wing online "attack machine" is real, and no journalist is more of a target than @rachelgilmore.bsky.social.

She tells it how it is to @supriya.bsky.social and me on #RealTalkRJ.

Kamala confesses - she wanted Pete Buttigieg on the 2024 ticket but didn't think America was ready for a Black woman and gay man at the same time.

@supriya.bsky.social sees it differently. How about you?

The most amazing part of this is that the far right didn't target her because she celebrated Kirk's death or even threw his own words back at them.

She merely expressed a well-founded worry that his murder might inspire the far right to greater violence and they apparently took that as a challenge.

I have no idea who you are. I meet a lot of people and have a public profile, I’m sorry I don’t remember you but it doesn’t seem like I’m missing much other than mansplaining so I’m good, girl

I mean I don’t know you and you went out of your way to tag me to disparage me and comment on an article I wrote about a subject that you (admittedly) know nothing about so I think you might want to take your own advice dude and get a life

have a nice day!

lmaoooo imagine commenting on a bill you haven’t read and then getting mad when that’s pointed out

It’s not just simply one provision, the entire bill is a privacy nightmare bc the whole thing is overly broad in scope, but I’ve just been reminded by someone in my DMs that you were a reply guy to me on twitter so like you commenting on an article about a bill you haven’t read is at least on brand!

I’m taking my kid to the park but the gist is the demand for warrantless info isn’t limited in scope and is in fact v broad to include all service providers — including health service providers

Privacy experts & legal nerds have written a ton about this

www.michaelgeist.ca/2025/06/big-...

area man comments on a bill — that he clearly hasn’t read — to suggest that interpreting the legislation exactly as it is written is “alarmist”

it is quite literally in the bill dude, maybe you should read it before commenting on an article about it?

and good to know the expansion of the American surveillance state and freely handing over info without a warrant to American law enforcement doesn’t register as concern for you

Area man thinks it’s ok for Carney’s strong borders act to hand over health data — including women’s reproductive health data — over to US law enforcement, okie dokie!!

thank you!

Bravo, Mme @supriya.bsky.social :
“At a time when progressives need leaders who are true to their values and will fight for them, Canada finds itself with a technocratic prime minister who seems more than willing to pre-emptively wave a white flag than have to fight

www.thestar.com/opinion/cont...

basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain

it’s also wild to me that progressives wouldn’t want to push a liberal government to get rid of the more worrying provisions in c2 that are a blatant threat to our privacy and sovereignty

if the request is made, the data gets handed over without a warrant, which is exactly how the legislation is written…have you actually read the bill? or do you trust the trump administration not to abuse the provisions as contained in the bill?
