At 7:20am on Sunday April 1, 2018 the Prime Minister of Canada, Justin
Trudeau, announced that the Canadian government has banned deployment of
Kamailio software on any servers hosted on Canadian soil.  Canada, which
participated in the interrogation of Mr. Balashov, found Russian
interference with the leading software product unacceptable and counter to
Canadian interests.  

 

The Prime Minister recalled parliament for an urgent session to introduce
new legislation known as "Free Universal Network Neutral Initiative" (or
"FUNNI").  The FUNNI legislation will not only protect Canadians from
hostile code hidden inside the Kamailio software, but also prevent Mr.
Balashov from becoming a Canadian citizen given his role in the scandal.

 

Consistent with Canadian norms, Mr. Trudeau apologized for Canada's
involvement in the interrogation of Mr. Balashov, and then cautioned
Canadians that we can expect other such serious announcements today, and
possibly more exactly one year from today.  He also commented that Canadians
who remain concerned about such news are likely part of the Digital And Free
Telecommunications initiative known as "DAFT", and expects to hear DAFT
members raise real concerns about the Kamailio news throughout the day.
