Generally avoid posting idiotic things this guy says, but as most people know as offensive as this guy is he's been sure not to offend anyone powerful and it seems like he's finally picked a side. Hopefully this will the straw that break the camel back for the Conservatives.

The Conservative leader called for a ban on Chinese software, matching the US.

“We will protect the North American supply chains by keeping the 75% rule in place, harmonise the North American cybersecurity rules by banning Chinese software, and align with our partners on the tariff against China to counter unfair trade and increase our negotiating leverage,” he stated.

Honestly, I feel safer China having my data (American).

My preference is that nobody collects my data. Especially when that means tracking my location and travelling habits.

I mean ideally but theres fuckal way to do that because you dont control the entire aspect of the hardware/software within your hands.

I can (mostly) control what hardware/software I allow into my hands.

as an example, no vehicle I own is capable of reporting anything back to the mothership.

The only "smart" home devices I have are ones i programmed and assembled myself.

My home network has specific privacy enhancing configurations.

Yes, those aren't necessarily easy or available to most people, but it's also not impossible.
