    Help demand the Senate to reform Bill C-22! Bill C-22, the so-called “Lawful Access Act,” is now in the Senate. The bill still carries dangerous surveillance powers to break encryption and invade the privacy of all Canadians. This is our last chance to fix it! I just signed OpenMedia’s petition to demand the Senate to reform Bill C-22. We need to stop these dangerous powers, and we need to act now! Add your voice today: https://openmedia.org/ReformC22
