Canadians!

Bill S-209 is due for a section by section consideration in the Senate this Thursday (i.e. the equivalent of a full committee markup to Americans)!

Reminder: This bill would mandate privacy invasive Age Verification as well as give the Canadian government the ability to block ANY website that isn't compliant (search engines, Wikipedia, social media, etc.), not just "commercial pornographic websites" like the bill claims! One of the bills' sponsors essentially admitted this!

If this bill passes, it would be massively chilling to privacy and free speech in Canada! The Canadian government would control what you're allowed to see!

VPNs are, at best, a temporary solution here.

Call your Senators and House of Commons Representatives ASAP!

Perhaps the conservative party of Canada has changed its position on mandatory ID laws, like #BillS209. Leslyn Lewis (CPC MP) has sponsored a petition to "Protect future generations from invasive digital and biometric tracking systems that undermine individual liberty" and "Reject any current or future proposals for the creation or implementation of a national digital identification system in Canada". https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Petition=e-6961
