It just shows that when you put people who don't have subject matter experience in positions that require said subject matter experience, they do stupid things based on what other "experienced" people say, or what is politically expedient at the time for votes or otherwise.
François-Philippe Champagne is a lawyer, who was formerly the minister of foreign affairs, the minister of infrastructure and communities, and minister of international trade.
Why do you have someone who held positions in industries or areas not related to technology being put in a position to make these kinds of decisions?
The government should be at the very least:
- Cracking down on gang activity at sea ports where stolen vehicles are put into containers and sent off to be sold in foreign countries.
- Forcing vehicle manufacturers (at their cost) to recall their older vehicles and retrofit more modern keyfobs with new security (for model years within the last 10-15 years) with non-compliance resulting in being unable to sell their new vehicles in the country.
- Increasing the severity of punishment for anybody who has stolen a vehicle, with an even more harsh penalty if they're found to be stealing vehicles with technology designed with the capability to capture and replay these keyfob signals.
It's a weak government with no idea on what they're doing and the Flipper Zero ban was a misguided, uneducated decision that was done to gather more votes instead of actually dealing with the problem directly.
Put ministers with actual industry/tech experience into these positions. Canada is slowly failing under it's current government, and I'm confident any other mainstream running party won't just bring more of the same ineptitude.
