Good they are actually banning them.

IANAL, but i am in canada and from what i understand, most non-competes are unenforcible here (to be enforcible it must meet a bunch of standards which most tech non competes dont) but yet tech companies still insist on them to scare workers who dont know better into compliance. Its better to just ban them outright.

They were banned in Ontario in 2021, with only a couple exceptions for executive roles or after acquisitions.
