@chris Democracy isn't just voting. It is convincing the party in power to change.

As an example that worked: in 2011, @OpenMediaOrg as well as myself raise enough brouhaha over UBB which CRTC had allowed Bell to charge onto its competitors. The then minister of industry, Cpnvervative Tony Clement heard the outcry and decided to act and told CRTC to review the decision. The same Conservatives who in 2006 told the CRTC to forbear and let Bell do as it wishes. (2006 policy direction).

As of today, we've sent more than 9,600 emails to MPs calling on them to STOP #BillC22!

But with Signal confirming they'll pull out of 🇨🇦 if the bill passes, we desperately need more people to speak up to prevent catastrophic consequences for Canadian privacy.

Please spread the word! #cdnpoli

Stop the Surveillance State: Stop Bill C-22!

🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: https://openmedia.org/StopC22 #BillC22

BREAKING: Signal, the #1 privacy protecting messaging app many of us rely on, is saying they will pull out of 🇨🇦 ENTIRELY if they're scoped into #BillC22 without large changes.

This should be our final alarm bell: we can have digital privacy or we can have legislation this broad and broken, not both!

Signal warns it would pull out of Canada if made to comply with lawful access bill

For the forseeable future I shall be tooting on topics related to the Charter and privacy which includes #BillC22 and #AgeGate.

IMO Bill C22 is the greatest threat to our privacy and Charter rights that I have seen since the Cons introduced Bill C30 in 2012 (which was withdrawn after much protest).

The spooks (Cdn spies and thier contractors) wish to create a database containing up to one year's worth of your meta data - internet search history and mobile phone contacts with location data, something that could be used to track you.

On the fediverse I recommend following these accounts, each of whom has been stong proponents of privacy since before Bill C30 (14 years ago).

@mgeist a well noted privacy lawyer who has been providing invaluable privacy information for decades.

@OpenMediaOrg an organization that has been campaigning for privacy and internet rights for Canadians for a great many years.

4/Political parties shouldn’t get a free pass from privacy rules.
Canadians need real safeguards, oversight, and accountability.

Tell Parliament we want them accountable 👇 https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7237

3/And here’s the thing: federal parties also collect your data while remaining largely exempt from privacy rules. That means the exact same risk exists on the federal level, waiting for a sketchy political party to leak the WHOLE Canadian voter list.

2/Names, addresses, phone numbers, and other voter information tied to millions of Albertans were made searchable online.

This isn’t just a privacy issue. It’s a personal safety one.

After a leak of Alberta’s provincial voters list, experts say the cost is dire and the government response inadequate. 'Our data is in the wind, and that is a terrifying prospect.'
