Bill C-34, the new Digital Safety Act / Safe Social Media Act. If this passes, this will have sweeping repercussions for the Canadian fediverse. #canada #privacy #cdnpoli #billc34 #fediverse #mastoadmin https://www.canada.ca/en/canadian-heritage/news/2026/06/government-of-canada-introduces-legislation-to-make-social-media-services-and-ai-chatbots-safer-for-children.html

MP Jenny Kwan has been doing great work protecting our rights (amongst many other great work they're doing). https://bsky.app/profile/jennykwan.bsky.social/post/3mk6vsdevg22d Please consider signing their petition against Bill C-22 (Lawful Access Act, 2026) and contacting your MP regarding the act. We've seen this type of bill before, they will keep trying to pass this in some form, and so we'll keep fighting it. Let's go to work. https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Peti...

Another great day reminding me that I do have a voice in my city, there&#39;s now some much needed adjustments to public transit that I advocated for in my neighbourhood! https://www.translink.ca/plans-and-projects/projects/bus-projects/bus-priority-projects/hastings-street-bus-priority #vancouver #translink #strathconaYVR #YVR

PSA to y&#39;all #IRC users: the latest release of #Halloy supports more #IRCv3 specs! Including `typing` (now on @liberachat too), and `+draft/react` &amp; `draft/multiline` on servers that support (ergo.chat) them! It&#39;s been very pleasant to use Halloy for IRC, so many nice quality-of-life features 🫶 Full changelog: https://github.com/squidowl/halloy/releases/tag/2026.5

RE: https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/politics-2qr4m137z/-/a-a8T_vwqoQEaqZGdScNUR2w%3Aa%3A107108217-%2F0 This is interesting. Feels like shenanigans a bit. I wonder if this is the result of a deal for that NDP MP floor crossing? #cdnpoli #canada

RE: https://flipboard.com/@cbcnews/ottawa-dpigmqdrz/-/a-D_0zMFpaTUyhkHd-k3EisA%3Aa%3A107108217-%2F0 Mandatory tracking being proposed. Even with guard rails, I&#39;d rather not have that data be collected. Also, can&#39;t they determine our locations already based on which cell towers you&#39;re connected to? Why is this needed? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/lawfull-access-legislation-liberal-9.7125891 #CanadaPoli #cdnpoli #privacy
