It already happens. Friend of mine (Ontario) had to quit smoking and stay off before he could get treatment for his lungs. There was a women (also Ontario) who recently was denied liver treatment because she refused to quit drinking. Many surgeries are also be denied to overweight people until they get down to some target weight.
Climbing a tree, while not the safest activity, is a recreational risk that only harms youself. Refusing a vaccine that is meant to protect you and your community, because you did your research on Facebook, is a willfully ignorant act that poses a risk to you and MANY other people. People are too stupid to make their own decisions in regard to public health.
Care for an illness that for which a person refused (by choice, not for legitimate medical reason) the vaccine should not be covered by public healthcare.
Heavy export fees on power would work more in our favour and prevent claims of military or terrorist action against the US.
But, yeah, there should be serious action that does not let up until there are signatures on a document that says the US will reverse all tariffs and will take no further economic action against Canada AND Mexico. This back and forth bullshit before getting results does nothing but hurt Canada and make our politicians look like the bottom dwelling invertebrate that they are.
Good. Canada is finally not just an economic appendage to the USA. Regardless of which party or president is running the show, Canadian politicians should remember how quickly they derailed us for their own gain.
He is a problem but people who vote based on what they read on Twitter were already going to be a wasted vote. Education at an early age on how to think critically, ask questions and find answers is how you mitigate this kind of crap.
What about TikTok, Facebook or Reddit? One is operated by an adversarial government, one harbors and aids scammers to steal millions, and Reddit is 4chan light.
Banning platforms is not the answer, it opens the door to banning as an easy solution to any issue.
The US can't even unlock an iPhone without calling in 3rd parties. EVERY Chinese made device collects data, and every Chinese business gives full access to the Chinese government. The US government does collect data but it's no where near the scale of the Chinese.
Remember when Elon remotely unlocked that cybertruck recently and accessed the cameras?
He unlocked a device made by a company he owns, running software they designed on a network they operate. All that shows is that Tesla's vehicles are not properly secured and remote access can be abused by Tesla employees.
During peace times it is not in Canada's interest for China to know where all our politicians are, it is not in Canada's interest for China to know where where Canadian military and law enforcement are. It's not in Canada's interest for any entity to be able to tell where specific people or groups of people are at any time.
De-spying should not only apply to Chinese cars but all cars and mobile devices.
Correlation attacks, China is king of hoovering up data.
Overly dramatic example: you are in the armed forces, you have a TikTok account, you post a bunch of shit that shows you are in the armed forces. You get deployed for some covert fuckabout and are told to leave your phone at home. You turn off your phone, pick up 3 of your buddies in your Chinese EV and drive to the base/airport/sea port. Dozens of people do this and by seeing the pattern China knows that a bunch of armed forces are being told to quietly deploy.
A less dramatic example might be figuring out where politicians are by knowing where their employees are.
