2024-02-20 Bill C-26 — Privacy Villain?

1) We are not alone in our protests against new cell towers and the proliferating 5G grid. This is from Cyprus.

Paphos primary school children strike over 5G tower

“Primary school children in the Paphos village of Konia went on strike on Thursday in protest at the installation of a 5G cell tower in the village.

The children protested outside their school for two hours, holding placards bearing slogans such as “we have a right to life”, “radiation damages health”, and “no 5G near school”.”

2) Not EMF: Canadian Bill C-26 has been in the works for some time, supposedly to protect us and our data from cyberattack. Open Media is warning that, in fact, it potentially threatens our privacy and security in many ways. I hope you will take the time to read this and share.

Bill C-26: An Act respecting cyber security, amending the Telecommunications Act and making consequential amendments to other Acts

“The Bill would also add new authorities to the Telecommunications Act, which would enable the Government to take action to promote the security of the Canadian telecommunications system.”

Bill C-26: Cybersecurity Hero or Privacy Villain?

This draft legislation, while intended to shield us from online dangers, lacks essential safeguards to protect our personal privacy and other basic rights. Passing it in its current form would be like handing the keys to a personal data-filled candy shop to government security agencies, who already have a deeply problematic track record of evading democratic oversight. The near-total absence of checks and balances in Bill C-26 raises obvious concerns about the potential misuse of power by the government, the spy agencies under its control, and spy agencies in allied nations Canada shares information with.”

Here is a form letter or suggestions for your own letter to your MPs about a Bill that sounds draconian to me.
