Stop Bill C-2
Bill C-2, Mark Carney’s so-called “Strong Borders” Act, is cruel, useless and dangerous. Experts are calling it the most anti-privacy legislation since Harper’s C-51, and comparable to - and in some ways, even worse than - the Trump administration's anti-migrant and refugee measures. The Government and the bill’s supporters say we need strong borders to protect our safety; but the truth is that C-2’s flagrant attacks on our rights are so broad, it will make all of us less safe. Yet unless we mobilize in force now, Bill C-2 will likely pass into law this fall.
This webinar will cover the essentials you need to know to understand what’s wrong with Bill C-2, and the “elbows down” political context that’s driving Carney’s proposal.
You’ll be able to:
*ask privacy and migrant rights experts your questions about the details of the bill;
*leave with a full toolset to make your voice heard and help stop this harmful and dangerous legislation.
Speakers will include some of Canada’s leading civil society voices on humanitarian issues and your rights:
*Adam Sadinsky, Canadian Association of Refugee Lawyers
*Kate Roberston, Citizen Lab
*Sarom Rho, Migrant Rights Network
*Matt Hatfield, OpenMedia
Moderator: Tim McSorley, International Civil Liberties Monitoring Group
