Place your bets everyone, which way do you think this will go?

  1. Canada doesn't pass the surveillance law

  2. The law passes and some/all of Signal/DDG/NordVPN remain anyway

  3. The law passes and they exit Canada

  4. (something else)

I'm thinking the law passes but the courts kill it due to it violating our Charter. I also feel that the tech companies will not wait for the court case to conclude before leaving Canada.

#2 DDG might not leave, Signal might do something maliciously compliant, and NordVPN will just leave.
