Seriously, I cannot emphasize this enough Canadian friends:
Bill C-22 SHALL NOT PASS! ⛔️
If you are Canadian, you must contact your representative ASAP to tell them you strongly oppose Bill C-22.
We cannot have this kind of authoritarianism in Canada (or anywhere else frankly).

Contact your representative(s) directly without the form by finding their contact information here: ourcommons.ca/members/en/searc…

Stop the Surveillance State: Stop Bill C-22!
🚨 Bill C-22 forces every Canadian internet provider, messaging app & cloud service to build surveillance backdoors and store a year of your data. Foreign state hackers exploited similar legislation in the US. Shut the backdoor: https://openmedia.action.openmedia.org
“This is an important public service announcement related to your right to privacy … We the people have 1 day 16 hours 33 minutes 13 seconds to take action and influence this outcome.
…
For now, your encrypted messages have a lock on them.
Only you, and the person you're talking to, hold the key. Not the app. Not the company. Not the government. You probably don't think about it. That's the whole point — it just works.
Until, possibly, the end of this summer.
WHAT BILL C-22 WOULD DO
Every messaging app in Canada would be required to build a second key.”
Another effort to destroy end-to-end encryption, and thus your privacy, this time from Canada.

Canada is about to end private digital conversation — Bill C-22
Bill C-22 would force every messaging app in Canada to build a backdoor — and track all your activity for one year. Apple says no. Signal says they'll leave.dontsurveil.me
Yesterday I attended the first major protest against AI data centres in Vancouver. There was a solid turnout, more than I expected for an event organized by a teen who'd never run a protest and just put out some Instagram posts and physical posters on a few main streets. At least 300, maybe over 400 people? I'm trying to be conservative in my guesses.
Speaking to the crowd, the top concerns were the social and cultural effects of AI (misinformation, disconnection, undermining the arts), then environmental concerns (Vancouver is already under water restrictions due to drought; fossil fuel buildup for AI; etc), then prioritization (why is money and space going to this instead of housing, healthcare, etc). A few other topics came up less often, like economic effects.
The group shut down traffic on two of Vancouver's biggest streets, Granville and Broadway, including the Granville Street Bridge. They also passed through Granville Island, one of the most-visited tourist destinations in Canada.
