We allow companies to track our locations so they can sell us more stuff, but we don't want the government to track us to keep us safe.

Authorities in Canada & US are to politically correct to do this. The bottom of the barrel needs to be reached before the PC bureaucratic dickheads act.

Good!

No forced buying of smartphones!
