TBF, with the vast majority of Canadians living close to the border, many Canadian’s cross the land border and then fly domestically within the US.

Come on, let’s get real. That’s not a binary, it a trinary/ternary. Totally different!! /s

As a white, cis, hetero, Christian male, I don’t know even know if I’d be willing to go to the states! Maybe if it was for work, but even then I’d probably push back.

I see a possible scenario where I cross the border for a day trip (go to a show, a game, or even just dinner), and can’t leave. I know it’s not very likely, especially given my privileged, but if that situation came to pass, that would be hugely disruptive. Before 2025, I’d say that scenario is almost impossible, as Canadians could even get home after 9-11.

After a reboot all the data is encrypted and needs a pin/fingerprint to unlock.

Just to clarify, it needs a PIN/password to unlock after reboot. Biometrics like fingerprint aren’t available until the device has been decrypted.
