“Big Brother Tactics”: Why Bill C-2’s New Warrantless Disclosure Demand Powers Extend Far Beyond Internet and Telecom Providers

If this bill gets through house and senate , the only hope is the GG refuses to give royal assent.

People and gentlepeople, if you've never called or written a member of government before, it is surprisingly simple.

And sometimes effective.

Trying to write each and ever MP and senator is affect change is unlikely.

If we all focus on pleading, begging, demanding, the GG do what is her constitutional duty and refuse to give this bill, in any form, the royal assent it requires to become law.

From our constitution:

Royal Assent to Bills, etc.

55 Where a Bill passed by the Houses of the Parliament is presented to the Governor General for the Queen’s Assent, he shall declare, according to his Discretion, but subject to the Provisions of this Act and to Her Majesty’s Instructions, either that he assents thereto in the Queen’s Name, or that he withholds the Queen’s Assent, or that he reserves the Bill for the Signification of the Queen’s Pleasure.

From the party that kept trying to push censorship laws, is anyone surprised?
Michael Geist will keep making articles until Canadians learn.
Fuck everything about this bill. I wrote my MP a few weeks back and heard nothing.
