Post #2928587

If you’re a Canadian, please contact your MP about bill C-22, and do it now. They’re voting on this in the next few days. dontsurveil.me Salt Typhoon, a hacking group connected to the Chinese government, used the backdoors put in place by CALEA in the US to spend months buried deep in US telecoms providers surveilling citizens. The Liberals are proposing to put in place a worse version of those exact same backdoors. Bring this up to your MP, remind them that when the Chinese (or North Koreans, Iranians, Russians, or even Americans) inevitably exploit these backdoors to do the same thing to us, it’s going to blow up in their faces. Read the link above for more salient points about why this is bad law. Read Open Media’s articles on it (openmedia.org/…/ottawa-repackages-its-surveillanc…). Bring up these points to your MP. Email them. Phone and demand to speak to them. Make a stink about this. If nothing else, send the form letter from Open Media (the other options are better, but something is better than nothing); action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1#main-co… They already tried to pass this law once and it failed. Yes, they have a majority now, but it is a very slim majority. If a few MPs defect this bill will die.
