⏰LAST CHANCE to fix #BillC22! It threatens 🇨🇦’ rights, #encryption, and privacy. Tell senators to reform it: openmedia.org/ReformC22-bsky The bill will require digital services to retain metadata for 6 months and enable secret orders forcing apps, messaging services, and others to build backdoors!
UPDATE: After Alberta's data breach, orgs + experts sent an open letter to Premier Smith to bring Political Parties under #privacy law. We just received their form answer: They’re “exploring options" 🙄 But Albertans and all Canadians need solutions now! Email Your MP: openmedia.org/voter-privac...
Tell your MP: Fix #BillC34! Safer platforms. Stop Scams. No Ban. No Surveillance! The "Safe Social Media Act," bundles platform accountability through a 'duty of care,' and a wide social media ban enforced by privacy-invasive age verification 👉 Take action to fix it NOW: openmedia.org/BillC34-bsky

We’ll be canvassing in #Calgary to collect in-person signatures next week, with more locations across 🇨🇦 to be confirmed. Stay tuned if you want to sign or support in person! ✍️ In the meantime, sign before July 4: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... @bcfipa.bsky.social @cancivlib.bsky.social
We need stronger oversight of political parties’ data practices because this affects adults and minors in 🇨🇦! Parties can collect and combine your data with data brokers without consent, and you may never be told if it was breached! Sign by July 4: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #privacy #cdnpoli
But for now, the status quo remains broken. Political parties can combine voter lists with data from brokers to build detailed profiles on you and even minors — without consent or transparency. That’s why this campaign is growing across Canada. You can still sign to stop this: voterprivacy.ca
Political parties in 🇨🇦 can buy data from data brokers and combine it with voter lists to target you. They can collect and use your data without consent, and you may never know if it’s breached. This isn’t normal in a democracy. Sign by Saturday, July 4 to fix this: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
Imagine if your bank: - bought data about you from data brokers - combined it with government records- - didn’t have to tell you what it has - didn’t need your consent to do it That’s allowed for political parties in 🇨🇦 right now! Sign by July 4 to fix this: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

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: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...
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: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... @bcfipa.bsky.social @cancivlib.bsky.social

🚨 Canadians overwhelmingly support stronger political privacy protections. Transparency, accountability, and independent oversight shouldn’t be optional for federal political parties! ✍️ Sign and share: www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... @leadnowca.bsky.social @fairvote.ca @pencanada.bsky.social
