Signal is leaving Canada. Windscribe is moving its headquarters. Apple and Meta are sounding the alarm.

Not because of the market. Because of a law that threatens to break encryption for everyone!

They're not. Bill C-22 would force companies to retain Canadians' metadata for up to one year and break encryption for everyone in the process. There is no way to open a backdoor for the government without opening it for bad actors too.

This bill cannot be fixed. It must be scrapped.

Our North American Affairs Manager Jay Goldberg breaks down exactly what's at stake for every Canadian online.

54.4% of ci******es in Malaysia are illegal. So who does a va**ng ban actually protect?

Over half of ci******es sold in Malaysia are illegal. That's not a consumer choice problem, that's a policy failure!

The Consumer Choice Center is calling on Malaysia to reform Act 852, not replace it. Treating vapes and ci******es as identical under the law ignores the science and pushes consumers toward the illegal market instead regulated alternatives.

Smarter regulation means more tax revenue, a stronger legal market, better protection for young people, and a real path away from ci******es for adult smokers.

Our Malaysia Country Associate Tarmizi Anuwar breaks it all down. Full interview: https://focusmalaysia.my/ccc-malaysia-needs-to-urgently-reform-its-nicotine-policy-act-852-needs-further-fortifying/

Our Managing Director Fred Roeder asks: Why does healthcare get more expensive while our most complex technological innovations keep getting cheaper? Price controls are hurting patients more than we think. It is time to regulate smarter.

How many bad ideas are being funded by you?

Our report researched this in depth and uncovered alarming details you have a right to know.

Altruism only works when it's voluntary. The moment the government decides where your money goes (and who it advocates for) it stops being charity.

A 50% tariff is a 50% tax. And you're the one paying it.

You were promised lower prices and more jobs. Instead, your car costs more, your groceries are up, and small manufacturers are laying off workers.

Trump's Section 232 tariffs were sold as a way to bring manufacturing back to America. But every steel job "saved" has cost U.S. taxpayers $650,000, and for every one of those jobs, 80 others that depend on affordable steel are at risk.

Stephen Kent breaks down the real cost of tariff policy, and what needs to change. Take a look: https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-trump-affordability-policy-thats-hurting-more-than-it-helps

Last week, Gov. Polis vetoed HB26-1236, and we couldn't be more proud to have played a part in that!

The Consumer Choice Center wrote directly to the Governor urging him to reject this bill.

Because HB26-1236 would have dismantled the model that allows ride-share, food delivery, fintech, and other consumer-facing platforms to operate in Colorado — pushing costs back to consumers through higher fares, higher fees, and fewer services.

Gov. Polis agreed. "The bill presents too much legal risk to Colorado's business environment and consumers, with limited upside for our small businesses," he said.

But the work isn't done. SB26-134 is still on his desk, and it puts your credit card rewards, your cash back, your miles, and your hotel points at risk. The deadline is June 13.

One win down, one to go. Thank you Gov. Polis!
