This should alarm every single Canadian. In committee, Apple and Google just warned MPs exactly what Bill C-22 does

Apple: “We’re concerned about a hole being put in the wall.”

Liberals: “There’s no hole in the wall.”

Apple: “But the bill lets you secretly order one.”

Google: “We’ve never built anything like this, anywhere in the world.”

And the response? Basically “pinky promise we won’t abuse it.”

This isn’t some conspiracy theory. This is tech companies that fight governments for a living telling Parliament that C-22 would force them to do something unprecedented globally — create secret backdoors and comply with sweeping, unchecked ministerial orders on metadata, encryption, and more.

After C-11 gave them control over what you can see and say online, C-22 is coming for what you can keep private.

Law-abiding Canadians. Your texts. Your calls. Your data. Your location. Your searches.

All of it potentially accessible through secret orders with minimal real oversight.

Privacy isn’t optional. Encryption protects everyone — including the people who have nothing to hide.

If this passes in its current form, Canada becomes a place where the government can quietly demand tech companies build tools to spy on its own citizens… and the companies are saying they’ve never been forced to do this anywhere else on Earth.

That’s not “lawful access.” That’s the foundation of a surveillance state.

Wake up. This one actually matters.

They said the bill doesn’t just ask them to unlock encryption when needed. It lets the government issue **secret ministerial orders** forcing them to build a… pic.twitter.com/RqPkkDDLiE
