The Senate needs to hear the voices of Canadians opposed to Liberal attacks on our rights & freedoms.
The fate of Bill C-11 will be decided in the Canadian Senate.
Having passed the House with Liberal, NDP, and Bloc support, the last chance to stop the draconian censorship legislation is for Senators to hear the voices of Canadians and stop the bill.
Conservative Senators have already made clear they are opposed to the legislation and will try to stop it, meaning that Independent Senators are the group that needs convincing.
To ensure that the Senate hears the voices of Canadians, the National Citizens Coalition has set up a way for you to easily send a letter to Canadian Senators.
Here’s what the NCC says about it:
“Like many Canadians, we are concerned that Bill C-11 was rushed through proper Parliamentary review and debate, amounting to a clear betrayal of our democratic norms and responsibilities.
Simply put, in its present form, C-11 is not fit for Senate approval. And it never should have made it out of the House of Commons.
And when even the Chair of the CRTC admits that C-11 can be used to pressure internet platforms into manipulating their algorithms, something is very much rotten in the state of Denmark.
Canadians did not ask for this. Industry leaders outside of legacy media did not ask for this. Content creators and everyday users certainly did not ask for this.
This is a terrible, unconscionable act of government overreach. The time to take action is NOW.”
The NCC also points out the danger of Bill C-11:
“If Bill C-11 becomes law, the government will be able to control what you see, hear and say on the internet. Don’t let that happen – send a letter to the Senate today!”
