Emailed my MP. Wrote out a slew of issues this bill has. Do it. Dont go oh i should do that, or I will later, im talking to YOU reading this. Because i am you. I procrastinate. I tell myself others will fight against this.
Have you looked south of the border recently? Hows that going for them?
Web search your MP. Write the damn email. We need to get off our lazy asses and speak up. Step by step they will strip our privacy away until every digital interaction will be tied to your SIN. To your face.
Update with her response.
Our government has been clear that lawful access measures are to ensure that law enforcement and CSIS have the tools they need to protect Canadians. This includes strengthening their ability to investigate and disrupt organized crime networks and respond to serious threats to public safety. Currently, Canada is the only country among the Five Eyes and G7 that does not have modern lawful access legislation, making us reliant on international partners like the United-States for critical information. The Canadian government believes it is time for Canadian law enforcement to have an updated, made-in-Canada solution to effectively counter criminal and national security threats. With Bill C-22, law enforcement will have the tools they have consistently called for to combat serious crimes such as child sexual exploitation, extortion, human trafficking, and money laundering. When law enforcement and public safety officials told us what they needed to better protect Canadians, we listened. This legislation works to remove existing barriers that can delay or hinder investigations and helps keep our communities safe. We are moving forward with legislative changes in Bill C-22 to ensure that law enforcement and intelligence professionals have the tools they need to address serious crimes, while continuing to uphold Canadian values. We are confident that Bill C-22 addresses those gaps in previous legislations in a thoughtful and balanced way. Our government remains committed to working with all parties like CSIS and the RCMP, as well as a broad range of stakeholders, to ensure we are responding effectively to the calls from police and public safety experts on lawful access. A strong government listens and delivers for Canadians—and that is exactly what we are doing to keep Canadians safe. Thank you again for contacting our office. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns. Sincerely, The Office of MP Giovanna Mingarelli
Any chance you could share that list of issues to help others with their letters? I feel like including something like that helps to get the letters noticed.
I don't personally have a list but this OpenMedia.ca campaign page is probably a good starting point.
I just did my part, this bill can't be allowed to pass.
Well done fellow human. Well done. Thank you for taking the time to be a part of it all.
Get off my lawn, zoomer. Two spaces after sentences. Two spaces between state and postal code.
Traditionally 2 spaces after the period at the end of a sentence is correct. It is still considered correct to this day, though is the "old" method.
1 space is not the only correct way.
