The House of Commons is days from passing Bill S-210, a dangerously broad age verification bill that would put an age lock on most of Canada's Internet and threaten every Canadian’s privacy.

This is what decades of incremental power creep results in. To make matters worse, the liberals share a large part of the responsibility for this outcome. Liberal voters favor strong governments that are heavily involved in people's lives. They've given no consideration to what that involvement means when the liberals eventually hand power back to conservatives, which happens on a circular basis in democracies. So the liberals hand more power to the government, which gets inherited by the conservatives, who use it against the people. Rinse and repeat.

Can you expand on what you mean by "heavily involved in people's lives"?
