Another step towards mass surveillance in Canada!

For those not following along, this bill is bad enough that Signal is planning to leave Canada if it is enacted.

I've signed more petitions in the past 3 years and gone to more protests than I have in my entire life. (Including opposing these bills).

The feds have completely tuned out protests since the 90s in my observation.

Between Harpers brutalizing G7 protestors and Trudeau sicking militarized police on BC water protectors, the uniparty feds have learned they can just ignore moral protests.

Shitty Conservative opposition is signing off on this bill and NDP voters largely abandoned the NDP to vote in this fucking nightmare gov.

I legit don't know what to do.

I legit don’t know what to do.

There is nothing much you can do, maybe you could tell your representative that they would lose your vote if they voted for this..

Well, unless you are willing to dedicate your life to create a new populist (doesn't matter if it's left-right or center) political force to actually get somewhere, like some Serbians & Hungarians have done in recent years.

The kind of protest that would have actual impact will not happen in Canada anytime soon, almost no matter what happens.

I signed petitions and donated to this more times than I care to count. I have not heard of local protests for this in my area, but I don't know what else to do. Writing to my MP was part of the petitions, too.

Start getting people on fully decentralized p2p chats like briar or deltachat I guess!

I’ve emailed my tone-deaf, copy-paste responding MP and added my name to every blast to the senate.

There is nothing more to be done. I now have to wait for my country to make an own-goal and hope they have the self-awareness to reverse course when the completely predictable services pullout happens.

Oppose how? It's in the senate already. Pretty much a done deal.

The senate has the ability to (and has done in the past) send bills back to parliament to be revised, amended, re-written entirely or even killed.

Messaged my MP.

He seems to be on the right side of every issue, so I hope he's right here as well.
