[Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms @JCCFCanada]

Now is the last chance for Canadians to urge their MPs to reject Bill C-22, the Lawful Access Act. This bill will give government and police easy access to your private internet data.

Find your MP's contact details here:  https://t.co/kcVrp6wjsc urge him or her to oppose this surveillance legislation.

@signalapp, @NordVPN, @windscribe, and @ProtonVPN are among the companies that will withdraw their services from Canada if Bill C-22 passes.

If passed into law, Bill C-22 will allow the government to:

- order companies to develop capacity for organizing and extracting your data for law enforcement review
- order companies to install devices that feed your information to government and law enforcement
- order companies to retain your data for up to one year
issue orders in secret.

Bill C-22 empowers the government to order VPN providers in Canada to retain metadata for up to a year.

The EU's highest court has struck down this type of mass data retention legislation twice already, suggesting it won't stand up to scrutiny:

We're going to reiterate this one more time: there is no universe in which Proton VPN compromises its no-logs policy.

[NORSE Labs @norselabs]

Canada’s Bill C-22, widely criticized for expanding state surveillance and undermining freedoms, would force developers to weaken security and implement backdoors. NORSE Labs cannot comply — neither morally nor legally. Here’s why.

Apple, Signal, Meta, VPNs, and the government's own oversight body have all raised the alarm. Don't be a radical — definitely do NOT visit https://t.co/RiANaNYU3S, do NOT contact your MP, and whatever you do, do NOT create art or speak up before May 26th. 😉

Good news, Canada: under Bill C-22, every private message will come with a complimentary backdoor — and a year of your metadata stored at no extra cost. We're calling it "Lawful Access." Catchier than The Patriot Act, isn't it?
