The Canadian government is preparing to give away Canadians’ digital lives—to U.S. police, to the Donald Trump administration, and possibly to foreign spy agencies.

Bill C-2, the so-called Strong Borders Act, is a sprawling surveillance bill with multiple privacy-invasive provisions. But the thrust is clear: it’s a roadmap to aligning Canadian surveillance with U.S. demands…

I should be able to protect myself from the government especially considering all of the countries now are enshittifying themselves.

              Does Nord track users? As far as I know they have a strict no-logging policy which has been independently audited each year including this year. On this basis I have been using them. Can you point me towards a source for privacy issues with Nord? If they are really tracking users I will want to look elsewhere.
