If we can have one Liberal MP cross the floor to the #CPC, #NDP, Bloc, or even #GPCanada, or any two break ranks with the Liberals on this one issue, and thereby defeat #BillC22, it is not an overstatement to say that would help preserve the rights of Canadians, the lives of undercover #RCMP officers (who need the haystack of popular usage of the same comms), the safety of abuse victims and survivors, the integrity of Canadian democracy, and the sovereignty of #Canada. #E2EE is truly that important.

Every mandated communications surveillance system gets breached, and every time, it costs lives, destroys investigations, facilitates broad-scale cybercrime, helps abusive stalkers hunt their exes, and gets abused to persecute citizens for nonviolent political dissent, justly necessary whistle-blowing, and even opposition to powerful corporate interests.

For example, the #SaltTyphoon breach in the US spoiled many active investigations and led to the #FBI recommending all citizens and businesses use #Signal, which is also relied upon for international diplomacy, hence for the national security of Canada and our allies. #C22 would force @signalapp to cease operation in Canada.

Speaking of corporate interests: C22 is a not a bill to protect Canadians. It is a bill to subject Canadians to the #Palantir panopticon, and through which, by way of the #CloudAct, to grant the Trump regime access to Canadian's private lives and privileged communications.

Don't let paternalistic patriarchal politics sell out Canadians' security and right to privacy.

Information about you is power over you. The only correct balance is therefore maximum transparency for governments to citizens, and maximum privacy for citizens from governments. Democracies do not rule, nor seek to rule; they represent, and seek to serve.

If C22 is not scrapped, I will vote on this issue.

Avi Lewis takes questions after speech at CUPE convention.

He speaks of:
- Carney "flooding the zone". That being, bombarding people with a myriad of right wing initiatives.
- Steven Guilbeault being indicative of how far right Carney has moved.
- The NDP policy against floor crossing.
- The NDP's history with labour, and the contrast with the NDP and the CPC.
- proposal for a public option for groceries.

It's good to see the #CPC opposing #bill_c22 , joining Prof. @mgeist and @OpenMediaOrg among many others. As the world becomes more digital, privacy rights become more important.

#Cull of 20,000 #NativeBirds at #NewcastleWaters #CattleStation will not go ahead after parent company intervened.

In a social media post, the parent company of #ConsolidatedPastoralCompany, which operates the station, said it was unaware of the licence and instructed staff to cease any culling plans "immediately".

The parent company, #TerraFirma, says it will meet with "relevant environmental groups" when leaders visit #Australia later this year.

"As the owner of #CPC, we were not aware of the application for a licence to cull birds at Newcastle Waters," the company said in its post.

"We have made clear to CPC leadership that this is #CompletelyUnacceptable.

"We have instructed the Newcastle Waters leadership team, and CPC senior management to cease any plans for culling immediately.
