Canadians!
Another reminder that these bills are rapidly progressing through the chambers. Bill C-12 passed while Bills C-8, C-9, and S-209 passed their first chambers and are rapidly progressing through their second chambers.
If these bills weren't bad enough, the Canadian government is trying to rush a bill that's essentially the United States' FISA and CLOUD Act rolled into one: C-22, the Lawful Access Act.
C-22's guardrails protecting encryption are extremely flimsy and easily bypassed (i.e. the definition of a "systematic vulnerability" won't be legally defined until after the bill is passed).
Please call your Senators and House of Commons Reps ASAP!
If you live in Canada, sign the petition against C-22: https://www.internetsociety.org/our-work/internet-policy/keep-canada-protected/

@GalacticGoddess When we in Canada are horrified by some things south of the border... ...maybe we should avoid building the systems that empower those things? Bill C-22 is a huge leap towards an authoritarian, repressive government! If we're going to define ourselves as "not the USA" we have to act differently too. #CDNPoli #Canada #Politics #C22 #BillC22
