"Security is an illusion. You want security? Call the Navy. Launch a regiment of troopers. We are healthcare providers. We treat sickness. We identify symptoms. We locate germs whether they arise from within or have come from the outside. The longer we wait to identify a disorder, the harder it is to treat the disease."...From the Disney+ show Season 1, Episode 4 of Andor.

Our MPs will soon be voting on #BillC27, a new set of sweeping privacy laws that looks like it was written by Amazon, Bell, and Ford. It's going to allow companies to do more with our data with less of our knowledge and permission.

That's why we need to message our MPs right now and ask for important amendments to Bill C-27 that will strengthen our privacy rights, not weaken them.

Message your MP now using this simple tool:
