You gotta love it when people who can barely use a computer without getting 60 viruses a second (assuming Canadian government is as incompetent with electronics as their southern neighbor) trying to ban something because they saw most likely staged videos online.

Maybe (assuming they're as incompetent with electronics as the American government) you could show them a bunch of fake videos of people using a laptop or computer running something like MacOS or Windows to hack into a vehicle to show them how much of a clown their being about this situation.

The Government here is just as useless when it comes to computers as any other room full of politicians in any other country, but they aren't trying to actually make things safer in this case.

What they're hoping to do is win some brownie points with the public that also doesn't know anything about cybersecurity by banning that car theiving toy that they saw on Tiktok. What matters to them here is that people continue to vote Liberal, rather than actually solving a problem.

SMBC Theater: If we're all feds, then what was being hacked!?

They most likely would not be able grasp the concept if you use a laptop. you would have to use a fork or someone's hand with a sharpie-drawn button that says "hack" on their palm.
