Canadians Are Running Out Of Time To Oppose The Dangerous C-22 Surveillance Bill
Canada's Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act, has passed the House of Commons and is now before the Senate. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association is urging Canadians to sign a petition opposing the bill before the Senate acts on it.
Why this matters: If this bill passes, Canadian authorities would gain significantly broader powers to access personal communications and data. That affects ordinary people, not just people doing something wrong. Surveillance laws tend to expand over time and rarely shrink. The Senate is the last stop before this becomes law. If you are Canadian, or care about what surveillance creep looks like when it moves fast, this is the moment to pay attention.
