Signal to Ottawa: We'll Leave Canada Before We Help You Spy on Users
Emailed my MP. Wrote out a slew of issues this bill has. Do it. Dont go oh i should do that, or I will later, im talking to YOU reading this. Because i am you. I procrastinate. I tell myself others will fight against this.
Have you looked south of the border recently? Hows that going for them?
Web search your MP. Write the damn email. We need to get off our lazy asses and speak up. Step by step they will strip our privacy away until every digital interaction will be tied to your SIN. To your face.
Update with her response.
Our government has been clear that lawful access measures are to ensure that law enforcement and CSIS have the tools they need to protect Canadians. This includes strengthening their ability to investigate and disrupt organized crime networks and respond to serious threats to public safety.
Currently, Canada is the only country among the Five Eyes and G7 that does not have modern lawful access legislation, making us reliant on international partners like the United-States for critical information. The Canadian government believes it is time for Canadian law enforcement to have an updated, made-in-Canada solution to effectively counter criminal and national security threats.
With Bill C-22, law enforcement will have the tools they have consistently called for to combat serious crimes such as child sexual exploitation, extortion, human trafficking, and money laundering. When law enforcement and public safety officials told us what they needed to better protect Canadians, we listened. This legislation works to remove existing barriers that can delay or hinder investigations and helps keep our communities safe.
We are moving forward with legislative changes in Bill C-22 to ensure that law enforcement and intelligence professionals have the tools they need to address serious crimes, while continuing to uphold Canadian values. We are confident that Bill C-22 addresses those gaps in previous legislations in a thoughtful and balanced way.
Our government remains committed to working with all parties like CSIS and the RCMP, as well as a broad range of stakeholders, to ensure we are responding effectively to the calls from police and public safety experts on lawful access. A strong government listens and delivers for Canadians—and that is exactly what we are doing to keep Canadians safe.
Thank you again for contacting our office. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any additional questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
The Office of MP Giovanna Mingarelli

Feedback about our name: someone's concerns on sharing
As a new person to lemmy and the fediverse concept as a whole, when I was looking for an instance to join it was the unique URL that drew me here. And the fact it's run by a fellow wargoose. I can see why people would dislike the URL though. So far I like it here and hope it doesn't change.

Canadians have gone from global rail leaders to primitive laggards. They are spending all their money on car infrastructure while their rail system decays
I cant remember a time in my life where Canada was considered a "global leader" in rail transportation. Especially passenger. Main problem is the sheer distance these trains have to run. Toronto to mo treal? Yeah sure. Calgary to edmonton, yeah. But ottawa to calgary or vancouver? Nope. Not unless we get a bullet train.

If you woke up a billionaire tomorrow, what's the first thing you'd do?
Turn my country the fuck around so that public servants represent people and decisions are made to improve the lives of people.

I have many linux distros running in the house for servers and self hosted software but the one box i havent swapped yet is my daily driver system. Microsoft is pushing me ever closer but with some titles still not supporting linux and getting to the end of a day i just want to game not debug something.
Its getting close though. Fuck this timeline. I looked at Pop OS and bazzite as out of the box gaming distros but am open to anything.

Agreed. He has no idea the repercussions this will have. These companies cant even keep operational data safe. What chance do these year long surveillance records have ?
