  1. @mpjgregoire @OpenMediaOrg Indeed. For that particular disaffected Liberal MP, our best bet would be to strongly recommend @avilewis reaches out, if he's not already. (I assume from @pluralistic having supported Avi's leadership bid that Lewis is on our side concerning privacy and surveillance. Care to confirm, Mr. Lewis?)

    Poillievre is has too Trumpy a history and present of policy and rhetoric on #fossilFuels and the #climateCrisis to get anywhere with #StevenGuilbault, and while #GPCanada is most politically aligned on that topic, the Cat-Herding Party needs Dr. @kathhayhoe to teach them how to communicate to the public effectively, and a competent and accomplish organizational leader to get actual results.

    Who'd be good to lead the Greens to actually accomplish something for once? Random names which come to mind, with no regard for recruitment plausibility, of organizational leaders who've helped get relevant results: Perry Bellegarde, Cindy Blackstock, or Sharleen Gale (effective Indigenous leaders); Bruce Poon Tip, Jeffrey Potvin (effective B-Corp leaders); Tim Gray, David Miller (effective nonprofit leaders); Valerie Chort (corporate wildcard); Catherine McKenna (an actual politician, for completeness).

    If Steven Guilbault is open to crossing the floor rather than resigning from Parliament, I suggest the #NDP would be the only possible new political home for him (at least until and unless the Greens cease being the Cat-Herding Party). If he can be convinced of the necessity of #E2EE communications for organizing climate action, maybe he could be persuaded to help defeat #BillC22. What do you think?

    Even if he won't cross the floor, if he's willing to break ranks, his one flipped vote on the bill would be indispensable.

  2. RE: cosocial.ca/@mpjgregoire/11662

    If we can have one Liberal MP cross the floor to the #CPC, #NDP, Bloc, or even #GPCanada, or any two break ranks with the Liberals on this one issue, and thereby defeat #BillC22, it is not an overstatement to say that would help preserve the rights of Canadians, the lives of undercover #RCMP officers (who need the haystack of popular usage of the same comms), the safety of abuse victims and survivors, the integrity of Canadian democracy, and the sovereignty of #Canada. #E2EE is truly that important.

    Every mandated communications surveillance system gets breached, and every time, it costs lives, destroys investigations, facilitates broad-scale cybercrime, helps abusive stalkers hunt their exes, and gets abused to persecute citizens for nonviolent political dissent, justly necessary whistle-blowing, and even opposition to powerful corporate interests.

    For example, the #SaltTyphoon breach in the US spoiled many active investigations and led to the #FBI recommending all citizens and businesses use #Signal, which is also relied upon for international diplomacy, hence for the national security of Canada and our allies. #C22 would force @signalapp to cease operation in Canada.

    Speaking of corporate interests: C22 is a not a bill to protect Canadians. It is a bill to subject Canadians to the #Palantir panopticon, and through which, by way of the #CloudAct, to grant the Trump regime access to Canadian's private lives and privileged communications.

    Don't let paternalistic patriarchal politics sell out Canadians' security and right to privacy.

    Information about you is power over you. The only correct balance is therefore maximum transparency for governments to citizens, and maximum privacy for citizens from governments. Democracies do not rule, nor seek to rule; they represent, and seek to serve.

    If C22 is not scrapped, I will vote on this issue.

  4. Nooo jestem ciekaw czy Lando Norris sięgnie po zwycięstwo. Ma świetne wręcz kosmiczne tempo. Coś musieli zrobić z tym McLarenem. #GPCanada #f1 #F1pl
