This is typical. All this stuff about people knowing where their cars are and the police, CBSA etc not doing anything about it*, the complicity of all the port and shipping people, but the government pretends banning some electronics will change something. I don't know what people expected from a "summit" or whatever they did, there are lots of clear steps we could take, but instead we get this.

- morkalork 3y agoWell you see, adding the name of a consumer device to a list of prohibited items is easy and costs nearly nothing. On the other hand, unfucking inter-jurisdiction cooperation and rooting out organized crime from the ports is hard. See also: - banning various types of (previously) legal firearms vs cracking down on illicit handguns being smuggled in over the border from the US - banning purchase of property by foreign owners vs addressing supply - banning single use plastics vs buying a goddamn oil pipeline for billions of dollars rather than cutting oil extraction subsidies etc. etc.
