The RCMP appeared before the Public Safety and National Security committee yesterday and affirmed that critics' concerns about Bill C-22 are well justified. The bill is about police gaining access to backdoors and encrypted communications. www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/rcmp...

Months of the Jewish community raising concerns about antisemitism on Canadian university campuses only for too many to ignore or deny. The streets of Montreal yesterday outside Concordia University: “the final solution is coming your way.” www.jpost.com/diaspora/art...

Last week I wrote about government plans to provide millions in tax credits for news operations of giants like Bell and Rogers. Now Culture Minister Mark Miller says “it’s not a question of it, but how” and put a potential price tag on it. $6 BILLION?! bsky.app/profile/mgei...

Ethics committee debated a motion yesterday on holding a hearing on the TikTok corporate ban. Liberal MP response? “I would advise all Canadians against having TikTok accounts…young people love TikTok but I think there is already a sufficient number of apps and platforms of sharing content.”

At yesterday's Bill C-22 hearing, I tried to convey the risk that the lawful access plan could make Canada an outlier, forcing companies to remove privacy protections from the Canadian market or exit the market altogether. www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/make...

The government’s inconsistency on cybersecurity is dizzying: rightly prioritized in the AI context but badly undermined by Bill C-22 and lawful access proposals that could create risky backdoors. As I said to the SECU committee, make it make sense. www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/make...

Few Canadians are paying attention as Senate committee approves creating government power mandating that virtually any site - social media, AI, search - require age verification under threat of court-ordered blocking in Canada. Bill S-209 about far more than pornography sites.

Apple leaves no doubt about the risk of Bill C-22 : "as drafted, this bill allows the Government of Canada to force companies to break encryption by inserting backdoors into their products, something Apple will never do."

The Bill C-22 hearing yesterday featuring the Privacy Commissioner of Canada, Apple, Google and others was a mess. But the message was clear. Bill C-22 represents a serious risk to the privacy and security of millions of Canadians. www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/appl...

We're given life's roadmap before understanding it. We accept school lessons as truths but need to learn how to think, not what to think. True wisdom arises by questioning, not having answers. Prioritize unlearning and relearning to cultivate a personal mindset. 🌸🍃

美联储前主席鲍威尔在接受肯尼迪图书馆基金会颁发的肯尼迪奖时,警告政治权力可能被滥用。 他说:作为美国人,我们受到一种信念的驱使,那就是自由与民主极大地促进了人类自我价值的实现。 维护和巩固我们自身民主的工作,可能会充满喧嚣,有时令人沮丧,甚至陷入四面楚歌的境地。在繁荣的民主政体中,党派之间的政治分歧是正常的,甚至可以说是必不可少的。 但是,在捍卫定义我们国家的更高原则上,我们应当团结一致。其中首要的原则就是对法治的尊重。 正如约翰·亚当斯所写:“我们的政府是一个法治的政府,而非人治的政府。”

If you need gas today, June 1, 2026, would be a good day to buy some because gas prices will continue to increase now that Iran has cut off talks with the US and are not only keeping the Strait of Hormuz closed but may seek to close the Bab al-Mandeb Strait.
