The CRTC is mostly run by former telco people and it shows.
Its the same reason we "couldn't" do a proper implementation of the emergency alert system, which is why every Amber alert uses the "the bombs are falling" warning level.

I'm guessing it assumes you're carrying your phone and infers motion from changes in the signal?
Or just uses the phone connecting and disconnecting to signal departure and arrival, in which case Home Assistant has done that for awhile now.
That sounds like being online with extra steps.
Considering they're just looking for a pretext to arrest someone, I think it's accurate enough for them.
Being some flavor of evangelical who raves about "groomers" seems to be the best predictor of being an actual groomer I've seen so far.
"Will they be safe?"
"That's not a metric we're looking at"
Typical city council nonsense. They fought them, added all kinds of warnings and pilot projects, and now want a pause because they're working.
"War on the car" has been a popular talking point for 20 years plus.
It's become so much easier. You can do it in a minute from the toilet, before you had to buy postage.
Every time we think the bar can't get lower, they go ahead and prove us wrong.
I just finished Oryx and Crake the first of a trilogy by Margaret Atwood, I quite enjoyed it. It's a short of dystopian sci-fi. I was put off by her at first because I was forced to read her in high school but I'm glad I gave her another chance.
I'm starting Les Misérables in French in the hopes of improving my written French.
Also working my way through Weapons of the weak which is about forms of peasant resistance.
Of course it's Doug Holyday complaining. They tried to take the politicians out of the process because of people like him. He's been councils resident contrarian since the Ford family moved on.
