It's FOSS article about CoMaps

It's FOSS article: news.itsfoss.com/comaps-launch

“CoMaps, you can download entire regions before you begin a trip for easy navigation in places without an internet connection or mobile network connectivity.”
“The user interface is clean and intuitive. You won’t need a manual to figure it out."
"Moreover, privacy is baked into the app."
"The map style itself is another highlight; it feels fresh, modern, and thoughtfully designed"

P.S. I like it too. It's easy to use, reliable enough, and I don't need to fear that “someone” is keeping its eyes on me :tony_happy:

Canadians, pay attention: Bill C-2 is a quiet threat to your privacy and civil liberties.

With so much happening around the world, it’s easy to miss what’s going on in our own backyard. But Bill C-2, now in the House of Commons, deserves your attention.

It lowers the threshold for law enforcement to access your private data—without a warrant. All it takes is "reasonable suspicion."

What kind of data?

* Internet and cellphone metadata

* Your location and activity logs

* Information shared across borders with foreign agencies

All accessed more easily under vague “exigent circumstances”

As a person who’s been accosted based on “reasonable suspicion” due to…. existing, I’m concerned that this bill expands surveillance powers and erodes due process protections that Canadians have long relied on.

I keep seeing arguments like, “If you’re not doing anything wrong, you have nothing to worry about.”

Let me be clear: that’s not how rights work.

Free societies are built on the principle that the law protects the innocent—not that we must prove we have nothing to hide.

If you're concerned (and you should be), reach out to your Member of Parliament. Let them know you oppose C-2 and support real protections for Canadian privacy and civil rights.

You can read the full bill here:

parl.ca/DocumentViewer/en/45-1

Let’s not sleepwalk into surveillance. We deserve better.

PS The Citizen Lab has an excellent write up citizenlab.ca/2025/06/a-prelim
