HA! HA! HAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaaa…….! 🤣 SpaceX stock tumbles 23% from its high, as average investors see most of their gains wiped out

New MP Rhonda Kirkland, who I find to be very sweet and honest, rose today in the house after crying last night in the C-22 committee meeting and then watched the rush vote today on Lawful Access, questioning the Liberals commitment to democracy. I think we all are questioning it. #cdnpoli

An absolutely shameful statement by Steven MacKinnon. Every organization with a long track record of expert commentary on the rule of law in Canada condemned the bill. "Liberals dismiss ‘tinfoil hat’ privacy fears as lawful access bill passes" globalnews.ca/news/1191195...

I sincerely hope that Canadian Senators are paying attention to just how problematic and contentious Bill C-22 is and will speak to us over the summer about it. Cc: @senatordowne.bsky.social @senatormohamed.bsky.social @amy61.bsky.social @senmarilou.bsky.social @senrosagalvez.bsky.social

We need @elizabethemay.bsky.social to tell Canadians what happened last night. To inform the public our democracy is gone and to call out the lies and gaslighting. We will support you, but you have to do it now. No one believes in anything, anymore.

I am going to wait until @avilewis.ca explains the discrepancy between his understanding of what his caucus did on C-22 and what actually happened. He isn’t in the house or committee. He may not know, however unlikely that is. If no explanation follows, assumption is natural to conclude he knows.

Did anyone bother to ask a follow up? Like, um, what specifically he thinks was ‘worth it’? Ask for specifics. Journalism has many reasons for its decline, but not being able to ask follow ups to brazen/stupid statements like this is right up there.

The reflecting pool is actually a great metaphor for tough civic problems that evade easy fixes, the risks of ignoring experts, and the allure and hazards of contracting out a fix and calling it a day.

Reading Bill C-22’s updated version & the government changed metadata retention from a year to 6 months which is still a Section 8 Charter violation. Anyone who votes for this bill tomorrow does so knowing it is a violation of your fundamental Charter rights & does not deserve to hold public office.

Thank you @elizabethemay.bsky.social for informing the press & Canadians about the undemocratic abuse of process the Liberals have undertaken to pass C-22 “Lawful Access” against all advice of experts such as @openmedia.org, @iclmg-csilc.bsky.social, @citizenlab.ca, @signal.org & legal scholars.

Watching the media and opposition parties try to gaslight Canadians while teams of lawyers were up all night witnessing what happened is the most destabilizing and disillusioning part of this whole thing. The media is calling us crazy, the @ndp.ca helped the Liberals last night. You can’t lie to us.

Getting really sick of this error in Codex

Avi, teams of lawyers are watching have you seen what your caucus did? From Michael Geist: NDP colleagues voted against a motion to separate the bill, then stayed on the sidelines when the vote came up to let the government rush this through committee without debate. Please be honest with people.

Well past midnight and the votes continue on Bill C-22 amendments. Just amendment numbers with no discussion, no debate, and no way for the public to even know what is being voted on.

With the government cutting off Bill C-22 debate, reports say they will make a few modest changes to the lawful access bill, including mandatory metadata retention for 6 months (vs. 1 year), encryption clarification, and a two-year expiry of ministerial orders. www.thestar.com/politics/fed...

The new "commission" is not defined at all (as far as I can tell with respect to who does what). Do you think privcom will be a part of it? A re-org of PrivCom? Or is privcom out completely?

There was a clear consensus on privacy law reform after Bill C-11 and then Bill C-27, so they re-introduce it side-lining the well-respected Privacy Commissioner.

This gov't can't help stepping on their own rakes as far as privacy and digital policy go.

What a tragic outcome. My thoughts are with his family and loved ones during such an unbelievable and devastating time.

If what Toronto Police are saying here is true, this would suggest some unknown actors (possibly not even based in Canada) are paying people to incite fear in Toronto's Jewish community and inflame domestic divisions in Canada www.ctvnews.ca/toronto/arti...

Short hand: bills claiming to protect you in digital spaces that are actually surveillance: Bill C-22, Bill C34, Bill C36 Bookmark it. And push back.

There is mixed reaction to newly introduced First Nations water legislation, but chiefs in Alberta are mincing no words with their take on the bill. They are condemning the Carney government’s decision to bring forward Bill C-37, saying the approach is a dishonourable step backwards.

I will not be debate broing MAID with people who don’t know the legal definition of capacity.

So glad to hear people are getting through to them, and taking care of each other ❤️

Listen if we have to raise an army of Indigenous, trans, queer, progressive conservatives, anarchists, communists, socialists, feminists, cool boomers, enlightened gen x, furries, gen z who leave the house, fangirls, game boys, woke POC, and anyone else to protect Canada 🇨🇦 from Carney, we will.

Good heavens... I've seen less eye makeup on RuPaul's Drag Race.

"Plug-in and portable solar are not replacing rooftop solar. They are creating a new lane. They are for people who want a lower-cost way to use solar without a roof project. They are for renters, apartment residents, campers, and homeowners who want backup power for smaller loads."

In a group I'm in for developers, one successful entrepreneur who provides services to Canadian businesses has said that the sheer costs and uncertainty of Bill C-22 has him scalling back his business and rethinking, likely costing his job and his team. #billc22 #c22 #cdnpoli #canpoli

“What happens if C-22 passes?” Good question. If it passes we spend the summer lobbying Senators and organizing meaningful and disruptive protests for the fall.

We have cross-partisan agreement on demanding the repeal of C-22. The government is trying to pass it by Friday. This isn’t something you can wait for someone else to take care of for you. We need all Canadians to contact their MPs.

The shootings at the US Consulate and synagogues in Toronto are connected to a gun-for-hire network that may also be behind the tow truck wars and waste company shootings. www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...

The puppy killer?

What an extraordinarily poor choice of words, holy shit

Cops shot a little baby. Cops shot a dog. Cops shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti. Cops are more likely to shoot you than they are to help you.

And they look like stupid fuckin dumpster trucks

As someone who has been a victim of crime & worked with victims of crime the impression the SECU committee likes to give of police vs. the reality of how they treat women victims does not match. And now they are giving them full access to us no questions asked. 🇨🇦 is going to be less safe for women.

It tisn’t a look. He IS a weird mf.

fuckin weird lookin mf

"i'm liminal!"

Not only is this better for accessibility, it also makes your document way easier to restyle later

The I ♥️ police show boating is sooooooo obnoxious.

This is incredibly concerning. How does this even happen? A citizenship certificate is a foundational identification document. Citizenship is so core to people’s lives and identities. This is a *HUGE* fuck up on the government’s part and I feel so terribly for those affected.

RELEASE: We strongly condemn the government's decision to block further debate of #BillC22 amendments. The bill is not ready to go, gov knows it, and every person in 🇨🇦's privacy will pay the cost if the House passes it and Senate does not intervene. #cdnpoli openmedia.org/press/item/g...

BREAKING: 🇨🇦 decides there will be NO debate of amendments to #BillC22's controversial part 2 - the part that lets gov install surveillance devices in any digital tech in Canada. Gov amendments will pass without reading; House vote will happen this week. #cdnpoli www.ourcommons.ca/documentview...
