UK just ordered Apple and Google to install scanning software on every phone and computer sold in the country

Not an app. Not social media. On the device itself. Your camera. Your photos. Your messages. Scanned before they can even be encrypted.

Signal — one of the most trusted privacy companies on Earth — called it exactly what it is: “invisible surveillance infrastructure switched on by default.”

The government’s excuse? Protecting children.

But here’s the part that should terrify every Canadian:

The same law requires the Prime Minister’s personal sign-off to spy on a politician… while ordinary citizens get zero protection and no opt-out.

Once this infrastructure exists, history shows the scope never shrinks. Today it’s “nudity.” Tomorrow it’s whatever the government decides is a threat — including political speech.

????THIS SHOULD SCARE EVERYONE????

Carney’s Liberals already rammed through their own censorship and backdoor bills before vanishing for summer. Now they’re actively aligning Canada with the exact UK model that’s turning every citizen’s pocket into a government listening post.

This isn’t about child safety. It’s about control.

They always sell it as “common sense” and “for your own protection.”

Until it’s not.

Canada First means rejecting the surveillance state before it’s installed by default in every Canadian device.

We don’t need invisible backdoors. We don’t need government scanning our private lives. And we sure as hell don’t need to import the UK’s authoritarian tech agenda.
