What's with this #government of ours? #Canadians take note.
Bill C-8 is currently in second reading in #parliament. It's nominally about increasing "cyber" security. But it contains one of the most chilling things I've seen in #legislation.
In short, it allows a government minister to, with the stroke of a pen, make it illegal for any telecommunications provider in the country to provide any services to any specified person.
No internet.
No phone.
No anything.Presto: you're suddenly incommunicado.
Note that's without a warrant, without a judge's approval, without a trial, without a charge, nothing, and there's nothing the person being banished can do about it until after the fact - and then they'll have to sue the government to try to overturn it. Good luck paying a lawyer for that!
This is our own little step towards fascism. Imagine a government hostile to your interests suddenly deciding you can't communicate with anyone because the things you say annoy them.
Please let your MP know that this legislation is NOT okay!

How the world can escape the new Gilded Age
"If #unaccountable #billionaires already wield too much #undue #influence, the last thing we shld want is to give them even bigger public forums -- eg, Musk now has thru his ownership of X. Instead, we shld pursue stronger institutional means of limiting the #power & influence of those who are already privileged, as well as reconsider e #tax, #regulatory & spending #policies tt created such massive #disparities in the 1st place"
