#BillC22 #KillBillC22 #StopBillC22 #CdnPoliFor the forseeable future I shall be tooting on topics related to the Charter and privacy which includes #BillC22 and #AgeGate.IMO Bill C22 is the greatest threat to our privacy and Charter rights that I have seen since the Cons introduced Bill C30 in 2012 (which was withdrawn after much protest).The spooks (Cdn spies and thier contractors) wish to create a database containing up to one year's worth of your meta data - internet search history and mobile phone contacts with location data, something that could be used to track you.On the fediverse I recommend following these accounts, each of whom has been stong proponents of privacy since before Bill C30 (14 years ago).@mgeist a well noted privacy lawyer who has been providing invaluable privacy information for decades.@OpenMediaOrg an organization that has been campaigning for privacy and internet rights for Canadians for a great many years.

#KillBillC22 #StopBillC22 #CdnPoliThis video shows what could happen if #BillC22 is passed and people get access to the data.https://youtube.com/watch?v=Y07j3hXAI-g&si=yKT-JuV3H784g5SXCurrently it should be possible to turn off location data on your phone or not use any app that uses location data.BillC22 and a data breach is all it would take for your privacy to be threatened since the location data would be gathered by the telcom and there is nothing you could set on your phone to stop the collection.Scary stuff folks.

#KillBillC22 #StopBillC22 #BillC22 #CdnPoliEarlier today I searched through all of the audio segments I could find at CBC "As It Happens" and "The Current" radio shows and I could not find anything about BillC22.There was a small number of web page posts at cbc.ca/news about the bill.IMO the public was not well informed about Bill C22.Maybe that is what the gov wanted?I do not regularily check the parliment web pages for new legislation.I found out accidently via an odd post on Mastodon that managed to get enough boots to make it into the general feed.I believe C22 should be delayed until more people have time to consider the consequences.IMO if more people know what was in the bill that there would be more outrage.I think the lack of proper notice is grounds to take more time, especially in the Senate (if it gets there).If C22 passes as is then we might never fully recover all of the Charter rights and freedoms we had in 2025.I feel betrayed by the PMMC government.

RE: https://mastodon.social/@OpenMediaOrg/116517630617574679Now think about the tourism ads they could run?Hello world: Ever wanted to have your phone number listed in a database controlled by some Filthy McNasties, spies, criminals and scammers in a third world country?Well now you can.As soon as your plane lands in Canada our spooks will start monitoring your phone and your every movement will be stored as metadata in some online database.Think our spooks are any better at minimizing data breaches?No need to worry as if there is ever a data breach then the public will never be informed as everything will be classified.You will never know.Imagine the prestige of having your metadata stored for at least a year, think of all the new calls you might receive.Why travel to Russia to experience full-blown surveillance when you can try surveillance-light right here in Canada?Come and see Canada before it turns into a real sh*thole.#CdnPoli#KillBillC22 #StopBillC22

#StopBillC22 #KillBillC22From 2026-4-8As I remember Michael Geist spoke up about the dangers of another Bill C30 in 2012 with similar surveillance threats.that was eventually dropped after significant protest from enough Canadians.Michael Geist, a law professor at U of Ottawa (@mgeist), has been consistently on-point over the years with his passion for rights and freedoms.Consider following him if you are interested in this issue."Could Bill C-22 Make Canadians Less Safe? The Systemic Vulnerability Gap in Canada’s New Surveillance Law"https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/04/could-bill-c-22-make-canadians-less-safe-the-systemic-vulnerability-gap-in-canadas-new-surveillance-law/#CdnPoliResistance is not futile!start here:https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1
