    I understand. I think our oligopoly situation and its regulatory capture has nothing to do with our gov’t ability to create classification of services. It’s a systemic failure of a different nature that’s definitely pretty horrible. No point trying to convince me otherwise but I do understand your view.

    BTW, I do agree that the private corpo age verification bullshit comes from American corporate interests. Which is one of the reasons I DO NOT want age verification in Canada.
