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. https://globalnews.ca/news/11828244/alberta-voter-list-leak-public-safety-disaster/

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. Learn more 👇 https://action.openmedia.org/page/190052/action/1

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! https://www.theglobeandmail.com/politics/article-signal-warns-it-would-pull-out-of-canada-if-made-to-comply-with-lawful/
