After UK, USA & Australia, it's now Canada's turn to decide on one of the worst surveillance bills; this time hidden in an anti-money laundering law.

    This isn’t just about Canada. It’s about a global pincer movement on encryption.

    While the EU pushes Chat Control 2.0 under the guise of child protection, Canada’s Bill C-2 sneaks in secret surveillance powers under anti-money laundering.

    Same playbook. Same goal.

    Governments aren’t banning encryption — they’re neutralizing it through legal backdoors, vague definitions, and ministerial orders with zero transparency.

    The UK orders Apple to weaken iCloud encryption. The US uses FISA. Australia has TOLA. Now Canada wants its turn.

    Once these powers exist, they won’t stop at “crime”. They’ll expand to “extremism”, “misinformation”, and dissent.

    This isn’t safety. It’s the end of private communication.
