Twelve months of mandated metadata is a doxxing dataset for crypto ops: who pinged which Safe signer, OTC desk, validator, bridge operator, or incident responder, and when. Apple already answered the UK version by pulling Advanced Data Protection instead of shipping a backdoor; if Canada pushes Signal and VPNs into the same corner, serious teams will geofence Canadian infra and move coordination to messier self-hosted stacks, which helps attackers more than cops.
