Um these people have no idea what Europe is trying to do.

So long as the threat of what is now called C-22 remains, nothing else that Canada’s federal government does really matters. It may be too much to hope that Von der Leyen understands it — she is not known for her expertise in topics at the intersection of technology and law — but it takes relatively little expertise to understand it well enough to see that a government which could enact such a law is not worthy of any respect. It takes only a willingness to look at what the proposed law says and does, rather than at what its proponents falsely claim that it would accomplish.
