@manlycoffee I don’t think an ableist framing of the issue is necessary or helpful; there are serious issues that warrant a much much deeper look:
* was the office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada consulted and what was their position?
* the framing of the issue — the proposal voted for at the Liberal Party convention describes a specific approach, without looking at the root cause. What other approaches were considered?
* Were the downstream effects of the suggested approach considered, and what issues have been raised?
* Why was this issue voted on in a party convention, without an input from general public, esp. without input from people working in adjacent fields?
I seriously doubt the Office of the Privacy Commissioner was ever consulted or involved in what is already a clusterfuck, which should be a huge scandal and a wtf in general.
