A number of tech platforms, including Signal, NordVPN and Windscribe, say they will pull out of Canada if the Liberals’ Bill C-22 passes.

The legislation would give the Carney government authority to compel telecommunications companies to retain user data, including location information, for up to 365 days without evidence of a crime.
