Concerned about online spying? Join the call for sober second thought
Online Spying Bill C-13 has already passed the House of Commons and will soon face a final vote in the Senate. But the Supreme Court of Canada has ruled that large parts of C-13 are unconstitutional. If passed, the Bill will face legal challenges and waste millions of taxpayer dollars. The Senate claims to be the place where new laws can receive “sober second thought” – and if ever a bill needed a sober rethink, it’s this one.
Opposition to Bill C-13 is huge and growing; it’s faced criticism from across the board, including from the government’s own supporters. We need to let the government and the Senators know just what we think of this resurrection of Vic Toews’ aborted Bill C-30, so our partners at OpenMedia.ca have launched a simple Letter to the Editor tool to help you get your thoughts on Bill C-13 published in your local newspaper.
Read more of what FIPA has to say about this draconian bill here and here.
Don’t delay: let Canada’s senators know you expect a critical review of this bill.
