Petition e-7237 - Petitions

This isn't the end of the line; we'll be asking senators to refuse to pass #BillC4 until House accepts their reasonable compromise.

And we're working on a HUGE nation-wide campaign demanding real voter privacy law!

UPDATE: 🇨🇦's house just REFUSED to accept a Senate amendment that would put a sunset clause on PERMANENT immunity to privacy law for federal political parties!

LPC, CPC, and NDP did not have the courage to defend their choice; only @elizabethemay.bsky.social spoke to the obvious issues in #BillC4.

The other major item on our agenda is the continuation of our debate on Bill C-4....which is mostly about tax relief, but which has, in part 4, an insidious clause that allows federal political parties to set their own bespoke information privacy rules, with virtually no restrictions. #C4 #BillC4

#cndpoli #BillC4 #Canadians should also bring very very concerned about C15. Specifically section 5 paragraph 5 giving sweeping powers to cabinet ministers!! That is not #Democracy

We are back for round two, with an absolutely amazing panel. You should watch - it will be like a great privacy rights podcast. #cdnpoli #SenateofCanada #privacy #C4 #BillC4

While considering Bill C-4, I urge colleagues & Canadians to look beyond temporary tax cuts and confront the deeper affordability crisis. 1/3

Dear @mark-carney.bsky.social ,
However much I may chastise you for the expected privacy violations in #BillC2 and #BillC4
I have to commend you for beginning to stand against #genocide. #CanPoli #CdnPoli

> The bill drops earlier proposed requirements to disclose security breaches and restrict selling Canadians’ information and it blocks the application of provincial privacy laws

#Canada #BillC4 #CanadaPOlitics #cdnpoli

> The provisions give political parties virtually unlimited power to collect, use and disclose personal information with no ability for privacy commissioners to address violations. #Canada #BillC4 #CanadaPolitics #cdnpoli

@mark-carney.bsky.social
Carney’s lean-into authoritarianism is making me question in what ways he’s different from PP. Knock it off, Mark. It’s not funny.

As #BillC4 is debated, the National Disability Network (NDN), of which Autism Alliance of Canada is a member, is urging the government to amend the bill and protect low-income Canadians with disabilities.

Tax cuts shouldn't hurt people with disabilities!

The proposed drop in the basic tax rate (15% → 14%) reduces the value of the #DisabilityTaxCredit (DTC) — making life more expensive for those already facing higher costs.
