This episode is entitled “Removing Safety For Your Safety” because of efforts to undermine encryption under the guise of protecting public safety and security.

This month, we continue our coverage of the Canadian election by extending our analysis to all the other party platforms we didn’t cover in the previous month. We also discuss the implications of some of the controversies that also cropped up during the election. Finally, we cover the outcome of the election and what it could mean for digital rights moving forward in Canada.

In addition to this, we also cover the moves by different governments to dissuade Facebook from using encryption to protect user messages. Also, we touch on the hugely controversial US CASE Act.

From there, we cover the legal case that is continuing to keep the fight against FOSTA alive. Another topic we cover is the continuing fallout of the European Link Tax. We even talk about how some eagles just know how to rack up cell phone bills.

Also, we cover all the usual music and video game reviews.
