Canadian political parties can do whatever they want with your data because they're exempt from our privacy laws. We're a citizens group trying to change that.

Our goal is to fill the gap between the protection of voter rights and the digital economy #MyDataMyVote

Glad to see the EU will join us in raising awareness of data privacy. This is shaping up to be a defining issue in our time. #cdnpoli #eupoli https://t.co/mJ05We46nI

Every political party that wants to succeed must make this a priority. People will change their vote according to which party promotes accountability and respects their privacy rights. #cdnpoli

Political parties are not subject to Canadian privacy laws. This is a threat to our democratic elections. Contact your MP and ask if their party will commit to respecting your privacy in this election. #cdnpoli https://t.co/XOiUO0jlMI

Toronto councillors are proposing a ‘digital rights accord’ to boost privacy and digital literacy. What do you think of this idea? https://t.co/q1kgw0FuX6 #cdnpoli #topoli

We cannot allow #Facebook to dodge accountability for its allowing #CambridgeAnalytica and others to manipulate voters. Mark Zuckerberg must explain himself to Canadians. #cdnpoli https://t.co/JFJR6hWTsA

Like the Canadian and British Columbian Privacy Commissioners, Germany will also be deleting its #Facebook page over the company’s refusal to address serious privacy issues. #bcpoli #cdnpoli https://t.co/Fr5WeVt4Hq

Without accountability on data, it is going to be harder and harder to prevent interference in democratic elections. Is Canada next? #dataprivacy #cdnpoli https://t.co/xSHgCqvCi4

“Among the 11 options Facebook allows users to describe their relationship status, … “It’s complicated” … probably best describes the connection we all have with the social media networking giant” #cdnpoli https://t.co/TrsTdJhbYj

Mark Zuckerberg and Facebook have shown nothing but contempt for Canadians worried about the health of our democracy. #cdnpoli https://t.co/TrsTdJhbYj

This is good. We can’t normalize businesses that profit from the manipulation of our democratic institutions. #CambridgeAnalytica #cdnpoli https://t.co/FcDUXXSZ76

Even the Business Council of Canada is advocating for additional privacy policies. This is emerging as the key policy issue of our time. We just need to make sure political parties have to follow strengthened laws. #cdnpoli @JamesMoore_org https://t.co/6HcqK7BnZn

Agreed. “Ontario's former privacy commissioner says concerns about #digitalprivacy are at an all time high, and federal privacy commissioners need more power to protect people.” #cdnpoli

“[T]hey should be made subject to federal privacy laws. Political parties should follow the same rules companies have to — it’s only fair. Privacy matters, regardless of who we vote for.” #cdnpoli Read more from @brandon_lyddon’s letter: https://t.co/EwhP7hmV4h

We tweeted every possible Senator and MP, telling them about the #dataprivacy loophole and demanding action. Canadians are deeply concerned that parties are exempt from our privacy laws. #cdnpoli https://t.co/XOiUO0jlMI

[MyDataMyVote @data_vote]

The House of Commons has risen, without taking any concrete action to protect our democratic institutions from data breaches. Canadian privacy rules still don’t apply to political parties. #cdnpoli https://t.co/XOiUO0AXbi

@JustinTrudeau, the new Digital Charter does not include regulations for political parties, which are exempt from Canadian privacy laws. Why isn’t your #LPC government doing anything on this important issue? #MyDataMyVote #cdnpoli https://t.co/DtRLVxrIIW
