As a wise man once said. “Well that's great, that's just fuckin' great man. Now what the fuck are we supposed to do? We're in some real pretty shit now man... That's it man, game over man, game over! What the fuck are we gonna do now? What are we gonna do?”

The Canadian government is simultaneously working to pass bills that will require ID for social media, mandate hardware-level backdoors for law enforcement purposes, and create a loosey-goosey legal definition for inciting hatred online (Bills C-34, C-22, and C-9, respectfully). We are entering a digital police state, a thought crime hellscape where Minority Report becomes reality.

The silence here is deafening.

There are no protests planned, no debates, hardly even an angry post online to be found about it. At best, you might come across someone that will mention this topic in passing before moving on to another subject.

It looks to me like the Canadian people have well and truly been broken into complete submission at this point. The frog has been boiled. The public's opinion has been ignored on every topic by our elected officials for so long that most have people have completely checked out.

Someone tell me there's something that can be done, because I'm not seeing it.

Flock says its cameras capture isolated moments rather than track people’s movements.

But its own training materials reportedly show users tracking vehicles “from location to location to location,” while Condor cameras can automatically acquire and follow people as they walk.

The investigation also found that dozens of cameras were openly streaming online without passwords, and it highlights documented cases of officers allegedly misusing the system to stalk former partners.

This is why the public debate cannot stop at “it’s just a license plate reader.”

The camera on the pole is only the part you can see.
