A Senate bill that would require Canadians to verify their age online before accessing porn is moving through the House of Commons without the support of the Liberal government.

The fucking NDP supported this bill with the conservatives. There goes any future support I have for them.

My NDP MP is having a community winter party next week. I'll mention this to him. Something like "I really love the work you're doing to get healthcare for all Canadians, but I'm deeply troubled that you supported a bill that depends on porn companies to secure people's personal information. I can't think of many companies I'd trust less to safeguard Canadians against identity theft. I thought it was below the NDP to stoop to Conservative fear mongering tactics politically."

Porn companies don’t verify

The government verifies and sends a token, like how payment systems work
