The RCMP confirmed yesterday in a Canadian parliament SECU Committee meeting that Bill C-22 is meant to give them encryption backdoors. * Source: https://www.michaelgeist.ca/2026/05/rcmp-confirms-bill-c-22-... Various groups have posted tools that you can use to message your MPs, including the Internet Society. * The Internet Society's tool: https://www.internetsociety.org/our-work/internet-policy/kee... * OpenMedia's messaging tool: https://action.openmedia.org/page/188754/action/1 * ICLM's messaging tool: https://iclmg.ca/stop-c-22/ There is also an official House of Commons e-petition: https://www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en/Petition/Details?Peti... This legislation was tabled by Minister of Public Safety of Canada (Gary Anandasangaree: gary.anand@parl.gc.ca) and has the support of the Minister of Justice (Sean Fraser: sean.fraser@parl.gc.ca). The Canadian Prime Minister (Mark Carney: mark.carney@parl.gc.ca) is also obviously involved in pushing this. * The SECU Committee members and their meetings on C-22 can be found here: https://www.ourcommons.ca/Committees/en/SECU The Minister of Public Safety has indicated that he wants to rush this legislation into law before June 19, which is when Canadian parliament goes into recess for the summer. * Source: https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/public-safety-ministe...
