🇨🇦 CANADIANS:
Sign this House of Commons petition to withdraw bill C-2!
The bill is bad, the petition is quick and easy.

Thank you, @jennykwan.bsky.social

👉 ✒️ www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en...

Screenshot of the linked page, text below:

Petition to the House of Commons
Whereas:
- Bill C-2, titled the “Strong Borders Act”, contains provisions that threaten fundamental rights and freedoms protected under Canadian and international law;
- The Bill would grant law enforcement and national security agencies warrantless access to Canadians’ historical associations with organizations and businesses;
- It would allow authorities to compel the disclosure of sensitive personal information, including geolocation data and contact details, based merely on suspicion of relevance to the investigation of offences under Acts of Parliament, regardless of individual involvement;
- The Bill is designed to facilitate Canada's alignment with the United States' CLOUD Act and the United Nations Cybercrime Convention, raising serious concerns about foreign access to Canadians’ private data, including by regimes with poor human rights records; and
- Bill C-2 undermines Canada’s obligations under international human rights instruments, particularly in relation to privacy rights and the fair treatment of migrants and refugees.

We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the House of Commons to:
1. Immediately withdraw Bill C-2 in its entirety;
2. Reaffirm Canada’s commitment to privacy, civil liberties, and international human rights standards;
3. Reject any legislative or policy initiatives that would enable foreign states, including the United States, to gain undue access to Canadians’ personal information; and
4. Ensure that national security and border-related legislation upholds the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and is subject to meaningful judicial oversight.

YCH base with Gale Dekarios from Baldur’s Gate 3 and an undrawn Tav. The tav base is sitting with their hands cradling Gale’s face, whilst Gale is on his knees before them, his arms wrapped around their waist. Gale is wearing the blue robes from his concept art and the background is a rough sketch. In this version, Gale has faint orb veins beneath his eye.

YCH base with two undrawn characters, the one on the right coloured a darker gray whilst the left is coloured a lighter one. The darker base is sitting with their hands cradling the lighter’s face, whilst the lighter base is on their knees before them, with their arms wrapped around the darker base’s waist. The background is a rough sketch. In this version.

Hey Canadian friends, let's sign this petition!! It takes less than 2 minutes and is an official thing you can do 💪

For context, Canada's C-2 bill paves the way for the US gov't to access Canada's private civilian data based on "security of the border", and "other security measures". It's bad!

Dieselbrain @dieselbrain.bsky.social · Sep 13

Canada's C-2 bill is both a gross overreach of govt surveillance into citizen's privacy, as well as extremely anti-immigrant/racist!

please do not forget to sign this petition alongside the others if you are canadian. This bill is bad news, but we can beat it!
