Stop the C-51 bill (online spying) by the Conservative government now!!

I'm sure most of you already know about this:

quote:

Taken from openmedia.ca The government is trying to sneak through a dangerous and costly set of online spying bills. If passed, these bills will create a mandatory new registry of your private electronic data and force you to pay for it. Most people don�t know about the invasive online spying bills that will be rammed through Parliament this fall, so Canadians are stepping up to the plate, using social media and online videos to educate their fellow citizens. The Stop Online Spying national public education campaign launches today with the release of three citizen-produced videos: Those lobbying in favour of this scheme have even asked for the power to dictate how mobile devices are made and how online services work, so that they can force providers to hand over information from text messages, email, cellphones, and online activity. This scheme will hinder Internet choice, hurt small businesses, and hit the wallets of ordinary Canadians. If we don�t act now to spread the word, it will become nearly impossible to stop online spying. We know from a recent survey that 8 out of 10 Canadians oppose online spying legislation. We just need to bring Canadian voices to Ottawa. With the viral growth of our petitions this year, we gained national media coverage and the attention of the Prime Minister�s office. This couldn�t have happened without people like you. So let�s move politics together again to save the open and affordable Internet. Visit http://openmedia.ca/educate today and share it with everyone you know. For the open, affordable, surveillance-free Internet,

I think it is important that we bring more public awareness about this law and talk about it as much as possible.

Is there a better article with provisions of said bill?

This does suck, but id be more concerned with what countries like china are already doing illegally.

You are more concerned about a foreign government, that has to hack its way through multiple layers of security, than your own government that is provisioning an on demand spying system?

Is that because you don't understand what is going on, or because you refuse to talk smack about the conservatives?

Today in the state elections in Berlin the Pirate Party received 9% of the votes gaining 15 seats in the state parliament. Although I may not be the most politically informed person, I was surprised when I read that there is also a Pirate Party in Canada. With these issues facing Canadians, I thought I would spread the word a bit...

I'm more concerned with the Chinese spying on us than our own gov...

I'm concerned about both. Internet privacy ftw...

The Tories have re-introduced their spying bill.

Help fight!

If would be a sad day for Democracy in this country if this bill goes through.

Hardcore trancer, can you please change the title of the thread to include "by the government"?

To make it more clear that its not some random company trying to spy on you.

According to Public Safety Minister Vic Toews, if you do not support this bill then you support child pornography.

Bill C-51: HERE


What the 4 main daily papers have to say:

http://www.torontosun.com/2012/02/1...rveillance-bill

The cons are up to their tricks again, yesterday the spying law on Canadians was bill C-51, named as "Investigative Powers for the 21st Century Act" Yesterday after con minister Vic Teows said 'Your With us or with the child pornographers' TODAY the bill has been renamed �protecting children from Internet predators act� the spying law on Canadians is now ((Bill C-30)). Look how manipulative they are.

Toews is a hypocrite, and is using 'Your With us or with the child pornographers' to take away every Canadian citizens right to privacy is fear-mongering.
Police are able to get a warrant under the law for suspected criminals. Just recently was the biggest bust on child porn in Canadian history, using the tools they already have under the law.
