🇨🇦, 🇺🇸, and 🇲🇽 are renegotiating our trade deal– and that's a key opportunity to defend privacy, freedom of expression, and free and fair digital markets.

We wrote a full submission on what 🇨🇦 should fight for in CUSMA negotiations: openmedia.org/article/item...

No trade negotiations no need to appease Trump with authoritarian legislation ☺️. Pull the bills, Carney.
We call it like we see it: the entire push around Bill C-2 and its little sibling C-12 is about pleasing President Trump.

Not the national interest of Canada. Not what Canadians actually want. Our privacy, our rights, and our values deserve better than this!

Take it from an American, my Canadian friends. Trump will throw anyone, even his own allies, under the bus when given the chance. Plus, he wants to annex you. Do you REALLY want to make buddy-buddy with him?

Call your MPs to scrap this bill!

Grateful to have MP May quote me in 🇨🇦’s House today to state the obvious truth: #BillC2 and little sibling #BillC12 are designed to please President Trump, and nothing else.

Not in keeping with Canadian privacy, values, or national interest.

Few countries leave consumers with as little representation against monopolies as 🇨🇦 does.

We are so proud to take on this fight for you: but it shouldn't be as uphill a battle as it is!
