Their main concerns:
The liberal governments keeps pushing for #BillC22, and we just wrote to SECU to demand full withdrawal. The #surveillance powers are dangerously unsafe. This so-called 'lawful access' bill MUST NOT PASS! 👉 View our latest blog for its latest developments and why we need your action NOW.

RE: @OpenMediaOrg@mastodon.social
As of today, we've sent more than 9,600 emails to MPs calling on them to STOP #BillC22!
But with Signal confirming they'll pull out of 🇨🇦 if the bill passes, we desperately need more people to speak up to prevent catastrophic consequences for Canadian privacy.
Please spread the word! #cdnpoli
#BillC22 is going to change your rights to #privacy. Friends from OpenCivics put together a quick walkthrough and explained why we need Canadians to stop it together now! 👉 https://dontsurveil.me/c22.html #cdnpoli
Federal political parties collect people’s data and target communications in 🇨🇦, yet they aren’t subject to the same #privacy rules as companies or public institutions. People in Canada deserve better! ✍️ Sign & share by July 4: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7237
What can political parties do right now?
This isn’t hypothetical. It’s legal in 🇨🇦 right now!

🔊 Anita Nickerson of Fair Vote Canada on voter #privacy: “It is common sense that there shouldn't be privacy rules that apply to almost every organization in Canada, and no rules for political parties": https://action.voterprivacy.ca/page/194272/action/1
Help change that and sign Petition e-7237 by July 4! #cdnpoli
You might already be in a political database in 🇨🇦; you never consented to it, and you can’t see or change it. Political parties can build profiles using voter records, #data brokers, and inferred traits about your behaviour + interests! Sign by July 4 to fix this: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7237
Think the fuss about #BillC22's destructive invasion of your privacy is just noise? Here's 🇨🇦's Chamber of Commerce:
"to our knowledge, no comparable jurisdiction in the Western world has adopted lawful access provisions of this breadth.'"
1/One of the worst parts of the massive Alberta voter data leak:

We'll be joining Robert Diab, this evening 6PM EDT/ 3PM PDT to unpack everything #BillC22 on this Goodbot's event. Register and tune! https://luma.com/qgvc95xz #cdnpoli
4/Political parties shouldn’t get a free pass from privacy rules.
Canadians need real safeguards, oversight, and accountability.
Tell Parliament we want them accountable 👇 https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Sign/e-7237
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.

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.
