In reply to John Robinson. You have quite a few unstated premises to unpack there. Basically, because portions of Trudeau's government are (verifiably) corrupt, you further assert that a platform made by an entirely unrelated department is engaging in wanton data harvesting, unanonymised data, and dialing home even in spite of the tangible evidence that it does not? Then you throw in a strawman for good measure. I don't think it's Mark or Michael being sold a controversial viewpoint here. ;-)

Quote sounds very similar to what the captured pirate told Alexander the Great upon being questioned. Mark Twain probably just adapted it to more modern times.

Love this Aesop quote so much, as well as the following last verse from “Sweetheart Like You” from the one and only Bob Dylan:

They say that patriotism is the last refuge
To which a scoundrel clings
Steal a little and they throw you in jail
Steal a lot and they make you king

There’s only one step down from here, baby
It’s called the land of permanent bliss
What’s a sweetheart like you doin’ in a dump like this?

“the app anonymizes your data, it doesn’t leave the device, it doesn’t phone home – and the code is open source”. Correct, and the entire concept of computer viruses and malware is a hoax, too!

Sorry, Mark, but you and Michael Geist have both been sold a bill of goods by none other than what will go down in history as Canada’s most incompetent, unethical and crooked Prime Minister – Justin Trudeau.
