I hate Google a lot but I am really not a fan of Europe and Canada's rent seeking bullshit either. They pretend to fight for the people or privacy or something else, etc but really they just want a percentage of Google (or Apple or Msft, etc) revenue. Which always flows to the government or political operators or those they lobby on behalf of.

I'm not sure the Canadian government ever pretended to 'fight for the people'. 'Rights' in Canada are completely different to what most consider a right and mean something very different to rights in the US. The Canadian government model is characterized by 'Peace, order and good governance' - it just so happens that 'good governance' means protectionist policies for this administration.

No mention of Australia?
