Vehicle thefts - Insecure vehicles should be banned, not security tools like the Flipper Zero (saveflipper.ca)

Vehicle theft is an issue that affects us all collectively. As cybersecurity and technology professionals, we recognize the importance of acting rapidly to reduce its impact on Canadians. That being said, we believe the federal government’s proposal, particularly the prohibition of security research tools, is ill-advised, overbroad and most importantly, will be counterproductive.

Models of cars that are easy to hotwire, for example, get stolen at a higher rate.
'Having a garage' is up to the consumer and often impractical and/or expensive. That's pretty different in various ways from a company having to follow some standards for implementing encryption.
