The Liberals will not be able to quickly reverse the legislation when that happens, and they may even be stupid/evil enough to double down on it. It can also take a year or more for the Supreme Court to strike down the legislation.

> But I don't think that's true. They will comply. They always comply.

It is true. Apple for example removes impacted services when a country targets it, like ADP in the UK. So iMessage will no longer work for Canadians.

WhatsApp will not compromise their global security and value of their brand for a tiny market like Canada.
